Aloha `Oe
to our Alpha Delta Kappa Sisters
Aloha ‘Oe
by Queen Lili’oukalani
Haʻaheo e ka ua i nā pali
(Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs)
Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele
(As it glided through the trees)
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko
(Still following ever the bud)
Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka
(The ʻāhihi lehua of the vale)
Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe
(Farewell to thee, farewell to thee)
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
(The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers)
One fond embrace
(One fond embrace)
A hoʻi aʻe au
('Ere I depart)
Until we meet again
(Until we meet again)
Mayme Chinn Ethel Hasegawa
