⁂

[Intro | Soft slack-key guitar, gentle ‘ukulele strums, distant pahu drum beats]

[Verse 1 | Smooth ‘ukulele picking, warm guitar chords, soft vocal harmonies]
E ala e, ka mālamalama o ka lani,
Ka hiamoe a Pele i ka lua o Halemaʻumaʻu.
Ua mālie ka hanu ahi, ke ahi kuʻu home,
Ka mālamalama e kau ana i luna.

[Chorus | Gentle pahu drum pulse, choral harmonies, flowing slack-key guitar]
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei,
E lana ka mana‘o i ka lā e hiki mai ai.
Ka honua e ho‘ohuli, ka pele e ho‘omaka,
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei.

[Verse 2 | Deeper pahu beats, steady ‘ukulele rhythm, flowing guitar leads]
Ua paʻa nā ala, ua hina nā hulu pele,
Ua mālie ka uwila i ka lewa lani.
Akahi ho‘i, ka leo nahenahe, ka leo maluhia,
E kali ana ka manawa e ola hou ai.

[Chorus | Full choral backing, pahu crescendo, bright guitar flourishes]
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei,
E lana ka mana‘o i ka lā e hiki mai ai.
Ka honua e ho‘ohuli, ka pele e ho‘omaka,
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei.

[Bridge | Whispering vocals, delicate guitar picking, faint pahu drum taps]
Ua huli ka lua, ua hanu hou ka honua,
Nā hāʻule nā hulu pele i ka makani.
E nānā i ke ao, nā kukui o ka pō,
Ke ahi, e hoʻi ana me ka mana loa.

[Breakdown | Deep pahu rhythm, airy vocal chants, resonant guitar strings]

[Chorus | Strong choral harmonies, rising pahu intensity, soaring guitar leads]
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei,
E lana ka mana‘o i ka lā e hiki mai ai.
Ka honua e ho‘ohuli, ka pele e ho‘omaka,
Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha, e hiamoe nei.

[Outro | Fading pahu beats, soft slack-key guitar outro, distant echoes of chanting]
E hiamoe, kuʻu ahi,
E lana ka mana‘o i ka lā hou.
E hiamoe, kuʻu ahi,
E lana ka mana‘o i ka lā hou.

[Outro | Soft guitar harmonics, faint pahu heartbeat, wind-like whispers]

Kuʻu ahi ho‘omaha — My resting fire.

⁂

[Translated]

[Verse 1]
Awaken, oh light of the heavens,
The slumber of Pele in the pit of Halemaʻumaʻu.
The breath of fire is calm, my fire, my home,
The light still lingers above.

[Chorus]
My resting fire, sleeping now,
Hope drifts on the day to come.
The earth will turn, Pele will rise,
My resting fire, sleeping now.

[Verse 2]
The paths are sealed, the Pele’s hair has fallen,
The lightning is quiet in the sky.
At last, the gentle voice, the voice of peace,
Awaiting the time to live again.

[Chorus]
My resting fire, sleeping now,
Hope drifts on the day to come.
The earth will turn, Pele will rise,
My resting fire, sleeping now.

[Bridge]
The crater shifts, the earth breathes again,
Pele’s hair falls in the wind.
Look to the sky, the lights of the night,
The fire will return with great power.

[Chorus]
My resting fire, sleeping now,
Hope drifts on the day to come.
The earth will turn, Pele will rise,
My resting fire, sleeping now.

[Outro]
Sleep, my fire,
Hope drifts on the new day.
Sleep, my fire,
Hope drifts on the new day.

My resting fire.
