Iā ʻoe e ka lā e ʻalohi nei ʻeā
Ma nā welelau ma nā welelaua ʻo ka honua

Hōʻike aʻe ʻoe i kou nani ʻeā
I ka mālamalama, i ka mālamalama ʻoi kelakela

Nāu i nōiʻi nōwelo aku ʻeā
Pau nā pali paʻa, pau nā pali paʻa i ka ʻike ʻia

ʻIke ʻoe i ka nani aʻo Himela ʻeā
Ka hene wai ʻolu, ka hene wai ʻolu lawe mālie

Mauna i lohia me ke onaona ʻeā
Kaulana i ka nani, kaulana i ka nani me ke kiʻekiʻe

Kiʻekiʻe ʻo ka lani noho mai i luna ʻeā
Nau i aʻe nā, nau i aʻe nā kapu o Kahiki

Hehihehi kū ana i ka huku ʻale ʻeā
I ke kai hālaʻi, i ke kai hālaʻi lana mālie

Kiʻina ʻia aku nā pae moku ʻeā
I hoa kui lima, i hoa kui lima nou e Kalani

Ma ia mau alanui malihini ʻeā
Au i ʻōlali, au i ʻōlali hoʻokahi ai

O ka lama o ke ao kou kokua ʻeā
Hōkūloa no, hōkūloa no kou alakaʻi

Lilo i mea ʻole nā enemi ʻeā
Lehelehe ʻeuʻeu, lehelehe ʻeuʻeu hana loko ʻino

He ola ʻo Kalani a mau aku ʻeā
A kau i ke ao, a kau i ke ao mālamalama

Hea no wao ʻo mai ʻoe ʻeā
O ka lani Kawika, o ka lani Kawika kou inoa

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana ʻeā
No Kalākaua, no Kalākaua no he inoa
