Lyrics
He ‘āina maika‘i ‘o Hālawa
Ka heke nō ia i ka‘u ‘ike
‘āina ho‘ohihi a ka malihini
Hanohano wale i ka waha o ka lehulehu
Hū wale mai nō ke aloha
Wai pāhihi i nā pali
Wailele a‘o Moa‘ula
Pulupē i ka hunahuna kēwai
Hui:
He nani kūkilakila
Alolua i nā pali
Home aloha nō ia
Ku‘u one hānau
Wailele hune i nā pali
Kō kāhiko nō ia
Me Moloka‘i, ‘āina kaulana
Me ‘oe nō wau
