E Ala E - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole

We, the voices behind the face,
Of the Hawaiian nation, the Hawaiian race
Rise for justice the day has come
For all our people to stand as one, 
E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, 
E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, 

(Repeat the first verse)

Chorus:
E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, 
E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, 
E huli i ka ho'i i ka pâkini alamihi
Gone are the days of the alamihi* ways
E kiko i ka piko o ka mana o ka po'e
The power of the people is the piko*
`O ka piko ke aloha o ka 'âina, o ka 'âina

We the warriors born to live
On what the land and sea can give 
Defend our birthright to be free 
Give our children liberty, 

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat verse 2).

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ , E Ala E (repeated several times...)
