Lyrics
I ka malu o Mauna Kea
He ‘olu, he ‘olu, he ‘olu
Leia ‘o Waimea i ka ‘ohu
Anuanu, ma‘ema‘e i ka la‘i
Na ka ua kilihune i ho‘opulu i nā pua
Ko‘i‘i ka lehua ma ka noe
Puni ‘o Waimea i nā pu‘u
He nani kamaha‘o i ka uluwehi
Kau mai nei ka mana‘o piha i ka ‘oli‘oli
Kulukulu ka waimaka i ka nani
Aia i Waimea he home ‘olu
Me ke aloha, hāmama, pumehana
Na Māpuana waipahē i ho‘okipa ‘olu‘olu
I ka pōʻai hoa i luana mai
Mahalo e Waimea i kou nani
I kou ‘ohu, kou uluwehi, kou la‘ikū
‘O ka hali‘a aloha ke hū wale mai nei
No ka home o ku‘u mau hoa
I ka malu o Mauna Kea
He ‘olu, he ‘olu, he ‘olu
