Kahi Ao ka Mauka

Kahi ao ka mauka
Kahi po ke kai;
Kunihi ka mauka,
Malie ke kai.
Na wai no Kakahiaka
Kalama no Po'ele'ele
Ola, Make
Malu, Kaua
Na'e ku laua

Amber, here is the translation:

A day alone with the mountain
the night, alone with the sea;
Steep stands the mountain,
still, the sea.
With waters for the morning
and the light for the darkness.
(Through) life, death
peace, war
Still they stand.
