What a hefty little New Year's package you have there. Congratulations Gecko and Ailie, and welcome to the world Kainoa!

Onaona ka hala a me ka lehua

E hali lehua no `ia na ka noe

E kau no ia e ano`i nei

E a li`a nei

Ho`i o Kahiki mai

A hiki mai no `oukou

A hiki pu no me ke aloha

Aloha e

Aloha e

Aloha e

Aloha Chant

The air is fragrant because of the hala and the lehua

The lehua is indeed borne by the mist

It is indeed mine this desire

and this yearning

of the return of Kahiki

You arrive

And arrive indeed with love

Love

Love

Love

*This is the traditional Aloha Chant.

Congratulations to you both. He looks gorgeous.
