Na Ka Pueo

Na Ka Pueo - by Samuel Kalani Kaea

Na ka Pueo kahi ke aloha
Nēnē ʻaukai o Maui

Kōwelo ko hae Hawaiʻi
Ma ka ʻilikai aʻo Māmala

Malama iho ʻoe ke aloha
Kuleana noʻu e hiki aku au

Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Na ka Pueo kahi ke aloha

Pueo, Hawaiian Owl

The Pueo is my one love
The seafaring gull of Maui

The Hawaiian flag flutters
Over the surface of Mamala Bay

Take care of my love
That's mine until I return

The story is told
Of the ship, Pueo that I love
