  Ho‘oheno kēia no ka honesakala
  Ke ‘ala mua ho‘i a‘u i honi ai
  Ua ho‘opa‘a ‘ia ma ko‘u pu‘uwai
  Me kahi pōkē a kāua i kui ai

  Hui:
  Li‘a au i ka ‘ono o ka wai o ia pua
  ‘Upu a‘e ka mana‘o e ki‘i hou e ‘ako
  ‘A‘ohe kani leo nā manu o ‘Ōla‘a
  Ua la‘ahia au me ka kuhi hewa

  Ua waiho aku au i kahi lei, ua mae
  I hō‘ailona nou e ‘ike iho ai
  He ‘u‘a kēia ua hiki mai nei
  Ke ahu mai nei ka meheu hele hewa

  ‘A‘ole no ku‘u ‘ike ‘ana i ka nani
  Wau a‘e ka‘ena wale a‘e ai
  He maka‘u nui ko‘u pulu i ka ua
  O ‘elo‘elo ho‘i a loa‘a i ke anu
