Hawaii ponoi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī is the state song and former national anthem of Hawaiʻi. The words were written in 1874 by King David Kalākaua with music composed by Captain Henri Berger, then the king's royal bandmaster. Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and the adopted song of the Territory of Hawaiʻi before becoming the state symbol by an act of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature in 1967. The melody is reminiscent of God Save the Queen and the Prussian hymn, Heil Dir Im Siegerkranz.

Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, Hawaiʻi's own,
 Nānā i kou mōʻī, Look to your king,
 Ka lani aliʻi, The royal chief,
Ke aliʻi. The chief.

Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, Hawaii's own,
 Nānā i nā aliʻi, Look to your chiefs,
 Nā pua muli kou, The children after you,
 Nā pōkiʻi. The young.

Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, Hawaii's own,
 E ka lahui ē, O Nation,
 ʻO kau hana nui Your great duty
 E ui ē. Strive.

HUI(chorus)
Makua lani ē, Royal father,
 Kamehameha ē, Kamehameha,
 Na kāua e pale, We shall defend,
 Me ka ihe. With spears.
