• Lyrics

  Hanohano ka leo kupa o ka ʻāina
  Ke kāhiko ʻoi kelakela o nā moku
  Mikololohua mai Hawaiʻi a Kauaʻi
  Kauahe mikioi piko o Lehua

  Hui:
  ʻO ka ʻōlelo ka ʻaialiʻilani (e ola ai)
  Ka mana nui ʻoiaʻiʻo (e lanakila ai)
  E noke mau i ka makeʻe ʻŌlelo Makuahine
  Kuʻu lei moki mau loa

  Waiwai ka noʻeau hulu kūpuna
  Paʻahana i ke ʻolu o Laʻi Aloha
  ʻŌʻili ka waiho a ka wena āiwaiwa
  ʻĪkoi welo mau nō nā mūʻō

  Ua paʻa, ua paepae ke kahua hale
  Hale ua noe o ka uka o Mānā
  Leo pūʻā punua hoʻōla mauliola
  I ō mau a mau kuʻu kulāiwi
