LYRICS & TRANSLATION FROM HUAPALA
I Aliʻi No ʻOe (You Are A Chief) - Traditional
I aliʻi nō ʻoe i kanaka au lā
Malalo aku au aʻo ko leo lā
I noho aku au aʻi kuke nāu lā
I kuene hoʻi nā ko nui kino lā
He keu no ʻoe a ke aloha ʻole lā
I nēia mau maka ʻimo aku nei lā
Kō ʻike mai nō a he palupalu lā
A he ʻiwi haʻi wale ko ka ʻamakihi lā
ʻO ka pou kaena iho kēia lā
E ʻuiʻui nei ke kaula ʻili lā
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana lā
I aliʻi nō oe i kanaka au lā
You are a chief, I am a commoner
Below you, I am obedient to your command
While you sit, I cook for you and
Wait on your big body
You are insincere, I've lost my love for you
Those eyes wink at someone else
I know your tenderness for another bird
This bird will break the bonds that bind
This is the mast that boasts of itself
The rope that squeaks
The story is told
You are a chief, I am a commoner
