E Nai Wale No Oukou… 1897.

NAI WALE NO OUKOU AO’E PAU
1. E Hawaii Nui kuauli,

Oahu o Kakuhihewa,
Kauai o Manokalani.
Cho. E nai wale no oukou,
I kuu pono ao’e pau,

E mau e ka Ea o ka aina i ka pono.

E malama i ka maluhia.

I hookahi kahi ke aloha,
I hookahi kahi puuwai,
E malama i ka maluhia.
Composed by
Samuel K. Kamakaia.
[Another well-known mele, with a few noticeable differences from what is sung today. The repeated line “E malama i ka maluhia.” would be “Keep the peace.”]

What we can learn from this article that was not included in the previous English article is that:
Archie A. Hapai has Passed On.
His father died earlier, but his mother, Sarah Hapai, survives him although she is frail. She is known to all the young ones of Hilo as Aunty Sarah.
Archie was greatly trusted by his coworkers. He was kind and a gentleman. He left behind a wife and many children, as well as a sister and his mother. Continue reading
