Lyrics
He aloha ku‘u one hānau
‘O Ka‘ū Nui hiehie i ka makani
He home noho mau na ka wahine
Ka āiwaiwa nani o Kīlauea
Ho‘oheno i ka wai o Palahemo
Ia wai ‘āwili me ke kai
Me ka ua kaulana a‘o Hā‘ao
Ho‘opulu ‘elo i ka ‘ili o ka malihini
Hanohano mau nō ‘o Punalu‘u
I ka wai anu a‘o Pūhau
I ka ‘ili‘ili hānau a‘o Kōloa
A me ka nalu holu a‘o Kāwā
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ka puana
No Ka‘ū Nui hiehie i ka makani
He ‘āina aloha na ke kupa
A me ka u‘i a‘o Kīlauea
