Lyrics

Hoehoene ka makani ‘Eka a‘o Kona
Māpuna leo heahea o nā kūpuna
Hō‘olu i ka ‘āina punahele o Kekaha
Hahani mai ana i ku‘u nui kino

Hui:
He aloha Ka‘ūpūlehu
Lā ‘eā, lā ‘eā

Hanohano Hualālai pi‘ina i ka lewa
‘A‘ahu kūpa‘a mau i ka uhiwai
Waiwai nō ke kumu o ka wai ola
Ho‘olale i ka maka ‘ana i ka ‘a‘ā

Ohaoha i ka weo o ka ulu Lehua
Māhuahua a‘e i ka hāli‘i a Pele
Lehiwa ‘o Hainoa, kau i ka nu‘u
‘Uhola nō ia i ke ano o nā lani
