Onaona na paia o Laimi,
Nohea i ka pua laniuma;
Ohaoha i ke kipaiula,
Hooipo a ka ua Haao;
Hu’ihu’i aala o na wao.

Kulia ia pua i ka nuu,
Makia paalani i ka moku;
Ka wahine aloanu o ka uka,
I ka nahele aala o Laimi.

A he nani no Waipuhia,
Kilihau lehua o Moelana;
Lana ae ka manao e ike,
Ia Kahuelanawai kaulana;
Wai hii puakou o ka uka,
A ka u’i e lei mau ai.
