Lyrics
Hoʻokomo i ka uapo aʻo Mahukona
I ka nuku kaulana o ka ʻāina
Ahuwale nā kuahiwi o Kohala
Ke holo aʻela mai uka a ke kai
Hui:
Huʻihuʻi ka ihona aʻo Waimea
Me ka wai ʻili ʻula, ka ua Kīpuʻupuʻu
Kipa aku i ka ʻolu o Kawaihae
Ke one puakea i ke kai hāwanawana
ʻAlawa aʻe au i ka nani aʻo Mauna Kea
Pumehana i ka poli kapu aʻo Mauna Loa
Eia aʻe ʻo Hualālai e kū maila
Nā kuahiwi kaulana i ke kapa hau
