Lyrics
Ke ‘ala o ka rose ua hapa mai
Ka maile lau li‘i o ke kuahiwi
Ka hala o kai, maile a‘o uka
Kui a‘e kāua a lawa ku‘u lei
Mea ‘ole e ke kula me ke kaimana
Ke kumu manakō ho‘oluliluli
Hāwele pono iho e ke kaula ‘ili
Maku‘u o ka noho ‘Ītālia
Kani e ka pio hone i ke kula
Mana‘o iho ‘oe ‘o wau ia
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Ke ‘ala o ka rose ua hapa mai
