Israel Kamakawiwoole - E Ala E Lyrics

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...)
