Na Kumu Keala Ching
| ‘Ae, Kaulana ka wai ola
‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? He mele nō Ka Wai Ola! |
Honored waters of life
Where are the living waters Where are the living waters Where are the living waters Where are the living waters Here are the living waters A song honoring the waters of life |
‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? Aia ke kino o ke Akua ā pili i nā kūpuna i kūpa‘a iā ia iho. Aia i laila ka wai ola. ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? Aia i uka pili i ka lani, iho mai ka honua ā ola ka wai o Waiaū. Aia i laila ka wai ola. ‘Auhea wale ka wai ola la? Huli ho‘i ka waiwai i loko ou ā e ‘ike ana ka wai ola i kou pu‘uwai. Aia i laila ka wai ola. E ola ka wai ola i ke Akua iā ha‘i.
Where are the living waters? Found within the body of the Higher Spirit and amongst the elders living firmly within themselves. The waters are found there. Where are the living waters? Found high above the heavens, upon the earth and within the living waters of Waiau. The waters are found there. Where are the living waters? Seek the deepest waters within yourself and seek the living waters in your heart. There the waters are found. Allow the living waters to live in the Higher Spirit before thee.
Inspired as a healing chant to recognize the living waters from heaven and earth to the living waters within. Recognize the relationship to influence changes forever and ever. ~ May 17, 2013
