Ke ʻAla Tuberose

‘Auhea wale ‘oe e ke ‘ala tuberose
He moani ‘a‘ala i ke ano ahiahi
Ua like me ka lau vabine
I ka hoene i ka poli pili pa‘a

Hui:
‘Ike hou ana i ka nani a‘o Hilo
I ka uluwehiwehi o ka lehua
Lei ho‘ohihi hi‘i a ka malihini
Mea ‘ole i ke kono a ke aloha

E aloha a‘e ana i ka makani Pu‘ulena
Ka makani kaulana o ka ‘āina
Home noho a nā ‘i‘iwi pōlena
Mea ‘ole i ke kono a ke aloha

Nani wale nō Hilo
I ka ua Kanilehua
Me he mea ala e ‘ī mai ana
Eia iho a hiki mai
