Hui:
Ko aloha, ko aloha kaʻu mea nui
He makana, he makana na ka puʻuwai

Maikaʻi ka makani o Kohala
ʻIke ʻia e ka Inuwai
ʻO ka wai nō ia pono kāua
Wai kaulana o ka ʻāina

Nani wale Niuliʻi kāhela i ka laʻi
ʻEkolu ʻōpua i hiki mai
Ālaʻi ʻia mai e ka ulu hala
Nalowale ka luna o Hāpuʻu

ʻElua māua i ka holo i ka lio
Kāohi ʻia mai e Pololū
Mea ʻole ka piʻina aʻo Kupehau
Ahuwale nā lehua o ʻAwini

Haʻaheo ka hau i ka mauna
Kahiko i ka ohu o ka nahele
E ka oni mai nei lilinoe
I ka ʻohu noe i ke kuahiwi

Ana ʻole ka makani iā Kohala
Holohia a ka ua Naulu
Aia ka luana i Makapala
I ka hea mai a Niuliʻi

Nê hone ka leo o ka wai
Hana pono i ka poli o ka ʻiwa
Kuʻu ʻiwa kuʻu lei kāhiko ia
Na pua lehua i ʻAwini
