Aloha ʻOe (Farewell to Thee)

To my Grandma Aquilina,

Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
(Farewell to you, farewell to you)

E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
(The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers)

One fond embrace,

A ho`i a`e au
('Ere I depart)

Until we meet again

My Grandma passed away on June 15 at the age of 84.
