Verse 1
Holo kākou me nā hōkū ma luna
Puka ka lā, hala nō a huna
Eia ke ala e piʻi i luna aʻe
Paʻa iā kākou ka inoa maikaʻi
HUI:
Eia ke ala
Eia ke ala
Paʻa iā kākou ka inoa maikaʻi
Eia ke ala e piʻi i luna aʻe
Eia ke ala e ola mau ai
Verse 2
Mau loa anei ko kākou kaulana
ʻO ia ka mea e noʻonoʻo ai
He aha lā ka hua i kupu i luna aʻe
ʻO ia ka mea e ola mau ai
HUI
Eia ke ala
Eia ke ala
Paʻa iā kākou ka inoa maikaʻi
Eia ke ala e piʻi i luna aʻe
Eia ke ala e ola mau ai
Verse 3
Mau ka ʻōlelo aʻo me ke aloha
Mau nō ka hana i hoʻohola ʻia aʻe
Inā ua hana kākou me ka pono
Lūlū i ka pono e ʻohi mau ai
HUI
Eia ke ala
Eia ke ala
Paʻa iā kākou ka inoa maikaʻi
Eia ke ala e piʻi i luna aʻe
Eia ke ala e ola mau ai
