  ʻAuhea wale ana ‘oe
  E ka pua līlīlehua
  A he ipo hoʻohenoheno
  E ho‘ohihi ai no ka mana‘o

  Iā ‘oe e ‘imi ana
  I nā nani o ka ‘āina
  Eia nō lā au ma ‘ane‘i
  E kali ana i kou ho‘i mai

  E ‘alawa mai ho‘i ‘oe
  I nei mau maka onaona
  He mau maka poina ‘ole
  E kapalili ai ko puʻuwai

  Hilo paʻa ʻia ke aloha
  I ka lino hilo pāwalu
  ʻAʻohe mea e hemo ai
  Me aʻu ʻoe a mau loa

  Haʻina mai ka puana
  E ka pua līlīlehua
  A he ipo hoʻohenoheno
  E hoʻohihi ai no ka manaʻo
