Lyrics
Ehuehu mai nei ‘o Mānoa lā
‘A‘ole hopo iho nā Hawai‘i lā
‘Akahi nō a lana ka mana‘o lā
E ‘ike i ka nani o Mā‘ihi lā
He ‘ihi‘ihi au no nā Kona lā
No ke kai palanehe ‘ili‘ili lā
A he ‘ili ‘ula au, he Hawai‘i lā
I ke kapa kēhau ho‘oheno lā
‘O ka wehiwehi ‘oe o ke kapu lā
No ka pae niho a‘o Haleakalā
Lālani kalalea o ke kai lā
‘Ōwili lei rose o ke kaona lā
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ka puana lā
A he ‘ili ‘ula au, he Hawai‘i lā
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ka puana lā
No Pauahilaninui he inoa lā
