E Kō Mākou Makua
E hō’ano ‘ia ka inoa o ke Ali’i o nā Ali’i
Ka haku ma luna o nā haku
Ka Liona Lanakila, Jah Rastafari say:
“Penei ‘oukou e pule aku ai
E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa,”
That is to say
"Our Father who we praise everyday
Who sit up in Zion
Hallowed be thy name."
“E hiki mai kou aupuni, e mālama ‘ia kou
Makemake ma ka honua
E like me ia I mālama ‘ia ma ka lani lā.”
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
As it is in Zion
“E ha’awi mai iā mākou I kēia lā
I ‘ai na mākou no nēia lā
E kala mai iā mākou I kā mākou lawehala ‘ana
Me mākou e kala akula.”
I say "This day we need our daily bread
Some of them try come trespass
But still we forgive them instead
That’s what my prayer said…"
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
That’s how I pray everyday
King Rastafari, hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
“Mai ho’oku’u iā mākou
I ka hoowalewale ‘ia mai.”
I said
"Lead us not to temptation
Righteous is our salvation"
“E ho’opakele nō na’e iā mākou I ka ‘ino.”
Say, "Please deliver us from evil"
“No ka mea, nou ke aupuni, me ka mana
Me ka ho’onani ‘ia, a mau loa, a mau loa”
Nou ke aupuni, me ka mana
Me ka ho’onani ‘ia
E hā’ina ka puana
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
That's just to say
Our father, who we praise every day
Who sit up in Zion, said, hallowed be thy name
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
But that’s how I pray everyday
That’s how I pray like everyday
King Rastafari, hallowed be thy name
I said, hallowed be thy name
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
Hallowed be thy name
Whether you pray in English
Or Hawaiian just the same
I say, hallowed be thy name
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
Hallowed be thy name
Won't you, won't you, won't you hear me when I say
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
“E kō mākou Makua ma ka lani lā
E hō’ano ‘ia kou inoa”
Hallowed be thy name
