• Lyrics

  He ahu aʻo Lanihuli
  No ka noe o Nuʻuanu
  Nuʻalia i ka pōʻai pali
  I ka pā iki mai o ke Kona ē

  Hui:
  He ʻohu i ka lei haliʻa
  ʻAla māpu i ke anuhea
  Hea mai i ke aumoe
  Moemoeā, moe mālie i ka poli ē

  Luhiehu ka lau o ka palai
  Pāpālua i ke kilihuna
  Kilihea ka liko ʻāhihi
  Hīhīmanu, hihipeʻa me ka maile ē

  ʻAuamo ʻo Konahuanui
  I ke ao hākumakuma
  Kū māhiehie kilohana
  Ua pō i ke ʻala hīnano ē
