- Aia i Ka`ala`ala`a
- Ku`u wahi kupuna wahine
- Ua nui kona mau la
- 'O ka noho `ana i ke ao nei
-
-
-
- Kana hana i ke kakahiaka
- `O ka wehei ka Paipala nui
- Ki`i aku la i na maka aniani
- A penei e kau ai
-
-
-
- Hui:
- E aloha kakou iaia
- E malama kakou is tutu
- E ho`ano kakou iaia
- Ko kakou kupuna wahine
-
-
-
- A kau mai i ke ahiahi
- Ho`omakaukau e pule
- Ki`i aku la i na maka aniani
- Auwe! ua nalowale
-

-
- Aia i ka lae
- I ka lae kahi kau ai
- Ua poina loa `ia
- I luna i ka lae

- There at Ka`ala`ala`a
- My little grandmother
- Many are her days
- Living in this world
-
-
-
- Her first act in the
morning
- To open the big Bible
- Get her glasses
- And put them on this way
-
-
-
- Chorus:
- We love her
- We care for tutu
- We honor her
- Our grandmother
-
-
-
- When evening comes
- Preparing for devotion
- Looking for her glasses
- Auwe! disappeared
-
-
-
- There on her forehead
- Placed on her forehead
- Quite forgotten
- High on her forehead
