E hoʻi i ka ʻUhane ʻĀhiu Kapu


Composer Barbara Dempsey
inspired by my friend Mahinahina

Opening Chant

E hoʻolu ana —  (Calming, bringing peace)

E hoʻomanaʻo ana —  (Remembering)

E waiho ana — (Letting go)

E ala aʻe ana — (Rising up)

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane ʻāhiu, ka ʻuhane kapu —  (Return to the  the sacred spirit)

E aʻo mai iā kākou nā Kumu —  (May the teachers instruct us)

Me ka haʻahaʻa loa —  (With great humility)

E pule kākou — (Let us pray)

E hula kākou — (Let us dance)

E wehe kā kou —  (Open yourself)

E wili kākou —  (Let us weave together)

E hoʻi hou — (Let us return again)

E haʻi leo nui — (Speak out boldly)

E hoʻoponopono —  (Make right, restore balance)

E aloha —  (With love and compassion)

[Verse 1]

E hoʻolu ē, e hoʻolu ē,  (Calm the waves within my soul.)

E hoʻomanaʻo i nā kupuna, (Elders wisdom makes me whole)

E waiho ē, e waiho ē,  (Let the old ways drift away.)

E ala aʻe me ka mahina, (Rise with the light of day.)

[Chorus]

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane ʻāhiu kapu,  (Return to the wild and sacred you)

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane aloha ē,  (Come home to the love that’s true.)

[Verse 2]

Nā Kumu ē, nā kia hula ē,  (Teach us with hearts so kind)

E pule, e hula, e wehe ē,  (Unfold what we left behind)

E wili hou, e haʻi leo nui,  (Speak the truth, let it soar)

E hoʻoponopono, e aloha ē,  (Heal and love once more)

[Chorus]

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane ʻāhiu kapu, (Return to the sacred you)

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane aloha ē,  (Come home to the love that’s true)

[Bridge]

ʻO ke aloha ka mea nui,  (Love is the greatest gift)

He makana ʻole e nalowale.  (A gift that never fades)

I kēlā hanu, i kēlā nalu,  (In every breath, in every wave)

Ua noho mau ke aloha. (The spirit of love remains)

[Final Chorus / Outro]

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane ʻāhiu kapu,  (Return to the wild and sacred you)

E hoʻi, e hoʻi, e hoʻi ē.  (Return, return, return)

E hoʻi i ka ʻuhane aloha ē,  (Come home to the love that’s true.)

E aloha, e aloha, e aloha ē.  (With love, with love, with love.)
