Ho'okena He Hawai'i Au Lyrics

I kêia pô eia au me 'oe
Kêia pô ua ho'i mai au
He loa ka helena ma ke ala hele
E huli i wahi ma kêia ao
Maopopo a ua 'ike ho'i
Ka home i loko o ku'u pu'uwai
Ua ho'i mai au, ke 'ike nei au
'A'ole au e 'auana hou
Ke maopopo he Hawai'i au

Tonight I am here with you
Tonight, I have returned
Long was my journey on the path
To seek a place in this world
I now clearly see and understand
The home within my heart
I returned when I realized this
I will not wander again
For I understand, I am Hawaiian
