Na ka Mauna Kea la i kono mai aʻu
E naue i ka ʻāina malihini

ʻĀina kaulana o Hilo Hanakahi
ʻĀina hoʻohie a ka malihini

He aloha Mokuola a e kū nei
I ka uluwehi ka lau o ka nui

E kīlohi i ka nani o Waiakea
Me ke one ʻanapa i Waiolama

Mālama ke aloha waiho i loko

Kau nui aku nei kahi manaʻo
E ʻike iā Waiānuenue

I laila hoʻi hope na malihini
E ʻike i ka nani aʻo ka Wahine

Ko mai ke ʻala aʻo ka maile
Na kāhiko ʻia a ʻoia uka

He nahele ia puīa me ka lehua
Lei hoʻohihi hoi a ka malihini

ʻIke i ka nani aʻo Halemaʻumaʻu
Me ke ahi kaulana a ka Wahine

Pehea mai ʻoe Uwekahuna
Me ka pali kapu o Kamohoaliʻi

He aliʻi nui ʻoe na ka malihini
O nei ʻāina pahoehoe

Aloha ia uka me ka onaona
O wili lei rose lei ʻohelo

Manaʻo aʻe au e hoʻi i ka home
Ika uluwehiwehi o Kapālama

Ke huli hoʻi nei ka Mauna Kea
E ʻike i ka nani a o ka kaona

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Lei ʻohuʻohu i ka lei Paʻi Niu

Haʻina hou ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kuʻu lei mokihana poina ʻole
