E pi’i ke ala i hui pu me ‘oe
May the road rise up to meet you…

E pa ka makani ma kou kua
May the wind always be at your back…

E alohi mahana ka la maluna o kou alo
May the sunshine warm upon your face…

a na ua Malie maluna o kou mau mala…
and the rain fall soft upon your fields…

A hiki i ko kaua hui pu ‘ia
and until we meet again,

na ke akua i ho’omau ia ‘oe
May God hold you

i ka poho o Kona lima…
In the palm of his hands…

‘Amama ua noa

Let it fly!

ʻO kou aloha nō.
Aia i ka lani
A ʻo Kou ʻoia ʻiʻo
He hemolele hoʻi

Koʻu noho mihi ʻana
A paʻahao ʻia
ʻO ʻoe kuʻu lama
Kou nani koʻu koʻo

Mai nānā ʻinoʻino
Nā hewa o kānaka
Akā e huikala
A maʻemaʻe nō

No laila e ka Haku
Ma lalo o kou ʻēheu
Kō mākou maluhia
A mau loa aku nō

The Queen’s Prayer

Your loving mercy
Is as high as Heaven
And your truth
So perfect

I live in sorrow
Imprisoned
ʻYou are my light
Your glory, my support

Behold not with malevolent
The sins of man
But forgive
And cleanse

And so, o Lord
Protect us beneath your wings
And let peace be our portion
Now and forever more

Amen
