Lyrics
He ola hou ko ka lāhui
Pa‘a pono i ke a‘o kūpuna
Ua kupu hou a‘e ka ‘ohana
Na ka hana lokomaika‘i āu
Hui:
E mau ana ka inoa hanohano
I nā pua lei mamo ha‘aheo
Puana he lei kamaha‘o
Kamalei-a-Paoa, e ō mai!
Holo wiwo‘ole i nā kai loa
Hōkūle‘a me Hawai‘iloa
“He moku, he kanaka ‘o Hawai‘i
A he kama ho‘oheno na Tahiti”
He inoa no Myron Pinky Thompson
