Real Old Style

Aloha na kupuna
Kupuna kane
Kupuna wahine
E aloha e

My grandfather
He's a kindly man
He lives on homestead land
And sometimes he'd sing me the songs he wrote
When he was still a young man

And he played
In the real old style

My aunties they all love to dance
And their families love to sing
I sing with them when I get the chance
And they're filled with love for me

And they dance
In the real old style

Now these folks, they are young no more
And they will pass away
I know that I'll remember them
And the songs they used to play

And they played
In the real old style

Now I'm a young man still
With many things to see
And some day when I grow old
I'll sing the songs they sang for me

And I'll play
In the real old style
