E Ala E Songtext

von Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

We, the voices behind the face,
Of the hawaiian nation, the hawaiian race
Rise for justice the day has come
For all our people to stand as one,
E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,
E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,
(repeat the first verse)
Chorus:
E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,
E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,
E huli I ka ho'i I ka pâkini alamihi
Gone are the days of the alamihi* ways
E kiko I ka piko o ka mana o ka po'e
The power of the people is the piko*
'o ka piko ke aloha o ka 'âina, o ka 'âina
We the warriors born to live
On what the land and sea can give
Defend our birthright to be free
Give our children liberty,
(repeat chorus)
(repeat verse 2).
E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ , e ala e (repeated several times...)
