Lyrics
He lei ‘ā‘ī ‘oe na ke kupuna
A he milimili ‘oe na ka makua
Pūlama ‘ia ‘oe me ke aloha
Hi‘ipoi ‘ia ‘oe ma ku‘u poli
He lei aloha ‘oe, ua kaulana
I paukū ‘ia me ka ‘āhihi
Ho‘ohihi nō wau na‘u ‘oe
‘O ko‘u kuleana pa‘a nō ia
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Ku‘u lei nani ‘oe poina ‘ole
Hea aku mākou e ō mai ‘oe
‘O Kawohikūkapulani he inoa
