Lyrics
Maika‘i ka makani o Kohala
‘Ike ‘ia mai e ka Inuwai
‘O ka wai nō ia e pono kāua
Wai kaulana o ka ‘āina
Hui:
Kou aloha, kou aloha ka‘u mea nui
He makana, he makana na ka pu‘uwai
Nani wale Niuli‘i kāhela i ka la‘i
‘Ekolu ‘ōpua i hiki mai
Ālai ‘ia maila e ka ulu hala
Nalowale ka luna o Hāpu‘u
‘Elua māua i ka holo o ka lio
Kāohi ‘ia maila i Pololū
Mea ‘ole ka pi‘ina a‘o Kupehau
Ahuwale nā lehua o ‘Āwini
