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
