The Calling
Ka `Ôlelo Hawai`i, "`A`ole no i `ike `oe i na nani o kona wahi i hânau `ia ai a e hele aku i kou `âina hânau." "You do not see how beautiful your birthplace is until you go away from home."
Ka `Ôlelo Hawai`i gently lifted the fog Gift-wrapped in song and chant, Sweetly beckoning me back to my motherland, She whispered,"E ho`i mai." With passion, I now seek to speak with her Together, Let us imbibe Let us celebrate its ancient strength, Fully submitting to its eternal loveliness. Come, come home with me. E ola mau ka 'ôlelo Hawai'i.
Aloha a hui hou, |
