  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
