Oli Aloha- Hawaiian Welcome Chant
Onaona ka hala me ka lehua, He hale lehua no ia na ka noe,
`O ka’u no ia e `ano’i nei,
E li’a nei ho’i o ka hiki mai,
A hiki mai no ka kou,
A hiki pu no me ke aloha…
Aloha e! Aloha e! Aloha e!
The oli is a chant that offers a word of greeting. It says in part, “This is the sight for which I have longed. Now that you have come, love has come with you”.
