Maika‘i ku‘u maka ke ‘ike aku
I ka beauty o Kewalo i ka la‘i
Me ka pā aheahe a ka makani ‘Ao‘aoa
‘Olu‘olu i nā ‘ale kuehu o Māmala
Nani Kou i ka ua Kūkalahale
Ho‘opulu i ka ‘ili o ke kama‘āina
Kaulana ka inoa Ka‘ākaukukui
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
He aloha ka mana‘o no Honuakaha
Kula hiehie no nā iwi kūpuna
Hoihoi ka helena ma ke ala Kuloloia
Aia Honoka‘upu, ka nohona o nā lani
A laila huli aku nānā i uka
Pūowaina kū wale i ka hano
Kahi ho‘okipa mau i nā kini lehulehu
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
He ‘alohi nō ka lā i Pu‘unui
Nā kukuna kau i luna o ke ao
Uhi mai ka mehana i Kaholoakeāhole
A hiki i ka poli o Kukuluāe‘o
He makana ho‘oilina mai ke ali‘i
Mahalo e Pauahi lani nui
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
Kaka‘ako ku‘u ‘āina aloha
Eō mai
