About the Song
Lyrics

Eia nā kia aloha ʻāina, eō mai
Mai Kamawaelualani, eō mai
Ka mai o Manowaiopuna
Me nā koʻiaweawe o uka
I ka pā aheahe ʻo Waiʻono
O Waimakaohiʻiaka
O Waimakaohiʻiaka

Ko kula uka, ko kula kai, eō mai
Ka paʻakai ʻopaeʻula, eō mai
Ke kai mālinolino aʻo Kanaloa
E ola mau Kauakahiunu
Ka hoʻokupu waiwai, he makana
No nā ʻoe i aloha i ka ʻāina
No nā ʻoe i aloha i ka ʻāina

Paʻa ke aloha a ke kupuna, eō mai
I ka wai kū haʻaheo, eō mai
Nā loʻi e hānai ai ka lāhui ē
Ka ʻāina momona ʻo ʻUkula
Ka ʻāina hoʻōla ʻo Hanapēpē
Ke kaimana hulali aʻo Kauaʻi
Ke kaimana hulali aʻo Kauaʻi
