A MELE FOR WILLIAM HEEN.
Hoohie ka iini nou e Heen,
Loio kaulana a o ke Kalana.
Ua ike e ka lehulehu apau,
Ko naauao piha noeau.
Ua kohu pono oe ke noho mai,
[Unclear passage] ekahi ke ike aku.
Nou ia lei e lei mau ai,
I ka la 6 [?] a o Novemaba.
Ke Akua kahikolu kou kokua,
A puka loa oe a lanakila.
Haina ia mai ana ka puana,
No Wiliama Heen no he inoa.
[The dignified is the desire for you O Heen
Famous attorney of the County
All are aware
Of your knowledge filled with wisdom
[Unclear passage] is foremost to see
On the 6th [?] of November.
The Trinity is your aid,
And you will win the election.
Let the story be told,
The name song of Wiliama Heen.]

Hula for William Heen by Mary Robins, 1919.
HE HULA NO WILLIAM HEEN.
Kaulana mai nei o William Heen,
O ka loio hoi o ke Kalana,
Na ka nupepa i hai ae,
Loio Kaulana imi mea hou,
Nau no i nowelo aku,
Ahuwale Honolulu he aina nani,
He kulanakauhale ua ike ia,
Ki-pe dala o ke aupuni,
Uluhua i ke kani mai a ke Ao,
Ka moho loio waiwai ole,
E hui Hawaii me Kaleponi,
Haku ae i ko lei a lawa pono,
Moani ke ala o ka Miulana,
Pili paa o ka hana me oe ia.
O ka pine kaimana i ko umauma,
E hulali nei a mau loa aku,
Imua kaua a lanakila,
O ke Akua mana loa kou kokua,
Hea aku no au o mai oe,
O William Heen kou inoa.
Composed by MRS. MARY ROBINS,
Honolulu Harbor Lighthouse.
[Mary Robins is perhaps most well known for songs like “Royal Hawaiian Hotel,” “Lanai,” and “Honolulu Harbor.” This is a political song written for William Heen, running for City and County Attorney. Political mele like these were not uncommon during those days.]
