Haleʻiwa Pāka - by Alice Nāmakelua
Hanohano wale ʻoe e Haleʻiwa Pāka ʻOhuʻohu i ka popohe o ka pua hau ʻO ka luli mālie a ka lau o ka niu I ke aheahe ʻolu a ka makani kolonahe Laukanaka mau ʻoe i ka lehulehu E kipa mau ana e ʻike i kou nani Ka ʻowē a ke kai i ka ʻae one E kono mai ana he luana ʻiki kāua Ua ana ka ʻikena i kou nani Hanohano wale ʻoe e Haleʻiwa Pāka	Honored are you, Haleʻiwa Park Adorned with the roundness of the hau flower The gentle sway of the coco palm leaves In the cool softness of the gentle breeze You are always crowded with the public That always visit to see your beauty The murmur of the sea at the edge of the land Inviting us to relax a little Satisfied seeing your beauty Honored are you, Haleʻiwa Park
