• Lyrics

  Ka makua mana loa
  Maliu mai iā mākou
  E hāliu aku nei
  Me ka na‘au ha‘aha‘a
  E mau ka maluhia
  O nei pae ‘āina
  Mai Hawai‘i a Ni‘ihau
  Ma lalo o kou malu

  Hui:
  E mau ke ea o ka ‘āina
  Ma kou pono mau
  A ma kou mana nui
  E ola, e ola ka mō‘ī

  E ka haku mālama mai
  I ko mākou nei mō‘ī
  E mau kona noho ‘ana
  Ma luna o ka noho ali‘i
  Hā‘awi mai i ke aloha
  Ma loko o kona na‘au
  A ma kou ahonui
  E ola, e ola ka mō‘ī

  Ma lalo o kou aloha nui
  Nā ali‘i o ke aupuni
  Me nā maka‘āinana
  Ka lehulehu nō a pau
  Kia‘i mai iā lākou
  Me ke aloha, ahonui
  E ola nō mākou
  I kou mana mau
