" I lama no makou "
I Pray You All Find Your Light...

" E pa'a poli ai "
and Hold it in Your Heart...

" Ke lipo mai ka po "
When stars go out each night...

" I 'ike 'ia 'oe "
That you may see...

" I pule na makou "
Let this Be Your Prayer...

" Ke malu mai ka la "
When Shadows fill Your Day...

" Ala ka'i nui "
Offer You Guidance...

" E paulele e "
That You May Have Faith...

" I ka palekane mau "
In Safety that Everlasting...

" Amene "
Amen...

For good measure, featuring Julie Andrew, Singing"Auld Lang Syne"...[]


"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many English-speaking (and other) countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight.

Mahalo Opihikao + apologies for Tom's crass manners ... It seem he just cannot control himself,

even to respect kupuna.

Hopefully the rooster wakes him up.
peace,
