Auhea oe e ke ala tuberose,
He moani aala i ke ano ahiahi,
Ua like me ka lau vabine,
I ka hoene i ka poli pilipaa.

Hui:
Ike hou ana i ka nani o Hilo,
I ka ulu wehiwehi i ka lehua,
Lei hoohihi a ka malihini,
Mea ole i ke kono a ke aloha.

E aloha ae ana i ka makani Puulena,
Makani kaulana o ka aina,
Home noho a na iiwi polena,
Mea ole i ke kono a ke aloha.
