Before you were born

I saw you in the sunrise

In the arms of my lover

In the music of the islands



And you were made of paradise

Of ginger and pikake

Wild mango and moonlight

And dreams of our sweet ohana (family)



Chorus:

He lei poina ole ke keiki

(A lei never forgotten is the beloved child)

Aloha no, Hana Aluna

(Our love to you, Hana Aluna)



Tonight I rock you in my arms

And sing of our tomorrows

A song to call your own

A vision of mohala (opening as a flower)



And this is my prayer

My Hana Aluna lullabye

Wherever live leads you

Within you goes my aloha (love and blessing)
