About the Song
Lyrics

Nāueue Puna i ka ulu hala
Nākolokolo ka uka o Keahialaka
Nakeke ka Puʻulena a puni ka honua
Ka honua haʻihaʻi a Paoa
A Kaliʻu lā, holo
A Honuaʻula lā, holo
Pau mai Waiapele

Hui:
Hulihia Papalauahi, lauahi ʻenaʻena
ʻEnaʻena i ke ahi, ke ahi a ka Wahine

Huahuaʻi ka lehu ʻula
ʻŌlapalapa ka pāʻū ʻula
Wiwili ka pua lauʻī a he ʻula
ʻO ka ʻula kapukapu o ke ahi lā
A Kaueleau lā, holo
A Kauaea lā, holo
Pau mai Waiʻōpae

Hoʻihoʻi ke aloha i ka ʻāina
ʻAʻeʻaʻe Hiʻiaka noho i ka lae
Ka moku lehua liliko i ke ao
I ke ao Pelehonuamea
A Kaniahiku lā, holo
A Malama lā, holo
Pau mai Waiwelawela

ʻEliʻeli kapu, ʻeliʻeli noa!
