Lau'oho po'ohina me he awapuhi kea
Nani mae ole ku'u kupuna wahine kua kolu
Aloha wau ia oe
O Hanaiali'i nui la ea
(2x)

Noho malie kona uhane i Waialua
Ma ko makou aina hanau
Minamina ku'u pu'uwai ia oe
O Hanaiali'i nui la ea

O kou ili hiwa palupalu
Ka pua o Moloka'i
Nui k'au aloha ia oe

Haina ia mai ana ka puana
Nani maeole ku'u kupuna wahine kua kolu
Aloha wau ia oe
O Hanaiali'i nui la ea

O kou ili hiwa palupalu
Ka pua o Moloka'i
Nui k'au aloha ia oe

Haina ia mai ana ka puana
Nani maeole ku'u kupuna wahine kua kolu
Aloha wau ia oe
O Hanaiali'i nui la ea
