Kaleohano
Written by Louis Moon Kauakahi
Kaleohano, O Kaleohano kou inoa
Ku'u home, ku'u home. Ku'u home O Keaukaha
Kaulana O Keaukaha
Kaleohano, O Kaleohano kou inoa.
Ku'u aina, ku'u kulaiwi. Ahuli i ke kai
Kaulana O Keaukaha
Aloha wau ia Maunakea
I ke anu o ke ahiahi
Ho'olono, ho'olono. Ho'olono i ka leo kamakani
Keaukaha no, ke ka oi
English Translation (similar... but NOT equal):
"Kaleohano (a name meaning:The Voice (of) Authority and Respect),
Kaleohano (is) your name
My (in a form expressing affection) home, my home, my
home, Keaukaha
Famous (is) Keaukaha
Kaleohano, Kaleohano (is) your name
My land, my native land, and dashing and receding (is) the sea
Famous (is) Keaukaha.
Listen, listen, listen to the voice of the wind
Keaukaha indeed, the place."
And here is an intriguing statement that I found:
"The fact is that Americans are not a thoughtful people; they are too busy to stop and question their values."
--- William Ralph
What do YOU value? Or... are you too busy???
