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
