    "Kaula ʻIli"
• Lyrics

  Ho‘omākaukau kō kaula ‘ili
  I luna o ka pu‘u Kanakaleonui
  E ho‘olohe i ke kani a nā manu
  Oh never mind, ke hina pū ua hiki nō

  I loko o ka ulu lā‘au
  E ho‘olohe i ka leo o nā manu
  Ka leo a‘e ‘ī mai ana
  Me ka ‘ili a‘o kou lae e mālama

  I luna o ke kuahiwi
  E ho‘ohei i ka pipi ‘āhiuhiu
  Eia a‘e ana mau lua pua‘a
  A lua nui, oh never mind, ua hiki nō
