Lyrics
Hole Waimea i ka ihe a ka makani
Hao mai nā ‘ale a ke Kīpu‘upu‘u
Lā‘au kala‘ihi ia na ke anu
‘Ō‘ō i ka nahele a‘o Mahiki
Kū akula ‘oe i ka mālānai a ke Kīpu‘upu‘u
Holu ka maka o ka ‘ōhāwai a Uli
Niniau ‘eha ka pua o ke koai‘e
‘Eha i ke anu ka nahele a‘o Waikā
Kū aku i ka pahu
Kū a ka ‘awa‘awa
Hanane‘e ke kīkala o ko Hilo kini
Ho‘i lu‘ulu‘u i ke one o Hanakahi
Ho‘i ke aloha i Waimea
