Hui: [1]
Hoʻohie ka ʻiʻini iā Mauna Loa
Ka ʻōpua kuhaʻo i ka mālie

Ua like ʻoe me ka ao naulu
He nohea i ka maka o ka malihini

Malihini ka ʻikena a i na Kona
ʻĀina i ka maka aʻo ka ōpua

ʻŌpua i hui ia me ka hinano
Lei aloha o ke kai maʻokiʻoki

Kaulana Kailua noho i ka laʻi
Me ke kope moe ʻole o koʻu po

Kau aku i ke kaʻa automobile
Ke ʻola onaona noho i ka uka

Uluwehi i ka nani o Kalehuanui
Me ka nani kaulana o Kaʻawaloa

ʻIke i ka nani o Hale o Keawe
Puʻuhonua ia o ka lehulehu

Aia ka ʻiʻini a i Punaluʻu
Kai maʻkaikaʻi a ka malihini

Ke hea mai nei Kīlauea
Me ke ahi hoʻoheno a ka wahine

Ulu māhiehie nā malihini
I ka wehi i ka liko aʻo ka lehua

Aloha e ka lau malu o ke koa
Pili aloha ia me ke ʻala

Kilohi i ka nani aʻo Maukele
Ala hele nani i ka maka o ke ao

Aloha e ka ua Kanilehua
Ua poina ʻole i ka malihini

Kilakila Haili a e kū nei
Home hoʻokipa mau me ke aloha

I laila au i walea iho ai
Me aʻu lei nani i ka puʻuwai

Kau nui aku nei kahi manaʻo
E ʻike i ka nani aʻo ke kaona

Ke huli hoʻi nei ka Maunakea
Me na ʻōpua i ke kakahiaka

Hoʻoipo ke aloha o na Kahikolu
Kiai maluhia me ka lanakila

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ulu māhiehie noho i ka ʻolu

Haʻina hou ʻia mai ka puana
Kuʻu lei Mokihana poina 'ole
