Throughout my moku, Mai 'O'opu'ola a i Mokulehua o Ko'olau
And to Keanae, 'O Keanae ka ahupua'a.
From the mountain to the sea, 'O Pi'ina'au a i Linohau
In this place that surrounds me, a puni ia'u
Exists the wai, Ola ka wai.
The ua that descends, 'O Lanipili ka ua
Mixing with the ponds, 'O Palauhulu ka wai.
Wai lives in the land, Aia i hea ka wai a Kane? Aia i lalo i ka honua
From which it grows, ka hua o ka 'aina.
Wai pulsates through me, he wai inu, he wai ola, he wai mana, e ola no a
Coursing through my veins, ka haloa
Connecting me to this sacred place, wa i hala, keia wa, ka waehiki mai ana
The sacred wai of Ko'olau.

Throughout my district, From 'O'opu'ola to Mokulehua of the Ko'olau.
And to Keanae, The section of Keanae
From the mountain to the sea, From Pi'ina'au to Linohau
In this place that surrounds me, I'm surrounded by it
Exists the water, The living water
The rain that descends, The rain of Lanipili
Mixing with the ponds, The streams of Palauhulu
Life lives in the land, Where flows the water of Kane? Deep in the ground
From which it grows, The fruit of the land.
Water pulsates through me, To quaff, Of life, Of Power, To give me life!
Coursing through my veins, The far-reaching
Connecting me to this sacred place, The time past, This time, the time to come
The sacred life water of Ko'olau.

I'm glad you like it, I was really hesitant to put this piece up but I'm glad that I did.
