KAHUNANI NO ʻŌLAʻA
Affectionately known to Kalani as Mama is his maternal grandmother, who hails from ʻŌlaʻa, Puna, Hawaiʻi. Kalani lovingly writes of his aloha for her stalwart demeanor and exquisite elegance. However now in her kupuna years, Mama is afflicted with Alzheimers. Nevertheless, Kalani would fly to Hilo to visit Mama. He’d gaze into her eyes and sing only to her. Soon thereafter Mama would smile for Kalani, leaving an emotional impression upon him, and the recollection of her precious moʻopuna would linger for only a short time.

KAHUNANI NO 'ŌLAʻA
Words and music by Kalani Peʻa

He nani nō kēia pua
(This blossom is exquisite)
Ua hiluhilu ke Kanilehua
(Adorned by its beauty of Kanilehua)
Nonohe ka maka mai 'Ōlaʻa
(Your beauty emulates from 'Ōlaʻa)
Nani wale 'oe Kahunani, Nani wale ‘oe Kahunani
(Kahunani is exquisite, Kahunani is exqusite)


He nani nō kēia pua
(This blossom is exquisite)
Ua pāwehi (ho'i) nō ia
(Exquisitely adorned)
No Hilo kēia pouhana lā
(This pillar stands firmly in Hilo)
Nani wale 'oe Kahunani, Nani wale ‘oe Kahunani
(Kahunani is exquisite, Kahunani is exquisite)

Bridge- He mai, he mai wahi a Lu darling
(Lu says to join the festivities, come and enjoy)
Lulu ʻia, hali'a ke aloha ē
(Shield with protection and widespread unconditional love)
He mai, he mai haiamū ē
(Come forth, come forth and gather)
E ku'u pōlani ē
(The most heavenly one of all)
Kau kehakeha kou inoa.
(I honor your name with respect and dignity)

He nani nō kēia pua
(This blossom is exquisite)
Hilo ʻia pikake lei aloha
(Intertwined with pikake)
Makahehi ia maka mai 'Ōlaʻa
(Such exquisite beauty hails from 'Ōlaʻa)
Nani wale 'oe Kahunani, Nani wale ‘oe Kahunani
(Kahunani is exquisite, Kahunani is exquisite)
