Lyrics
No Kīpū Kai ke aloha
Home i ka pili kahakai
I laila au i ʻike ai
I ka nui lokomaikaʻi
Nānea i ka hoʻolohe
I ka halulu mai o ke kai
Ka nalu nui e holu ana
I ka lae aʻo Kuahonu
Pau ʻole koʻu hoʻohihi
I ka nani aʻo Hāʻupu
Mauna kiʻekiʻe i luna,
Hanohano ke ʻike aku
Makemake wale ka ʻikena
I nā manu pīkake nani
E kakaʻi e haʻaheo ana
I ka malu aʻo ke kiawe
Puana ʻia me ke aloha
No ka nani aʻo Hāʻupu
Me Keaka lokomaikaʻi
Ka haku aʻo Kīpū Kai
