• 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
