    "Nā Kuahiwi ʻElima"
• Lyrics

  Hoihoi ka pi‘ina a‘o Waimea
  I ka pā mai a ke kēhau anu
  ‘Akahi ho‘i au a ‘ike maka
  I nā wailele pālua i ka pali a‘o Waipi‘o

  Kilakila Maunakea me kona nani
  Helu ‘ekahi o ke ki‘eki‘e
  Pili mai Maunaloa, mauna kamaha‘o
  Home noho o ka wahine Pele mai Kahiki

  Hanohano Hualālai e kū maila
  E ho‘ohiwahiwa ana i nā Kona
  Aia lā nā kuahiwi o Kohala
  Ke holo a‘ela mai uka a ke kai

  Ma ‘ō aku o ‘Alenuihāhā
  Haleakalā o Maui o Kama
  Ha‘ina ka puana i lohe ‘ia
  Mahalo i ka nani o nā kuahiwi ‘elima
