Oli Mahalo
ʻUhola ʻia ka makaloa lā
Pūʻai i ke aloha lā
Kūkaʻi ʻia ka hā loa lā
Pāwehi mai nā lehua
Mai ka hoʻokuʻi a ka hālāwai lā Mahalo e Ke Akua*
Mahalo e nā kupuna lā ʻeā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā

The makaloa mat has been unfolded Food is shared in love
The great breath is exchanged
The Lehua honors and adores
From zenith to horizon
Gratitude to God
Gratitude to our ancestors Gratitude with love
Gratitude with love
Oli used to convey thank you!
