Lyrics
Hiaʻai, hiaʻai o ka nani
O aʻu lehua i Hōpoe
Ke ona ʻia maila e ka ʻiwi
E ka manu hulu weo i ʻŌlaʻa
Hui:
Ninipo, hoʻonipo i ke aloha
Ka wahine haʻalewa, haʻalewa i ke kai
Ke niniau lā i ke one
I ke kai nupanupa i Hāʻena
Lou iki Panaʻewa i ka hala
I ka lihi ka pilina (o) Moeawakea
Ke niniau lā i ke one
ʻO ka noe lihi kai i oʻu nei
