Kuʻu ʻIʻini

‘Auhea wale ana ‘oe
He hali‘a ka i hiki mai
Me he ala e ‘ī mai ana
Aia i laila ke aloha

Eia me a‘u ka ‘i‘ini
Nou e ku‘u lei poina ‘ole
I walea ka nohona iho
Me ‘oe ku‘u ipo nohea

Hui:
Ho‘i mai, ho‘i mai ke aloha
‘Oiai ka manawa kūpono
Na wai e ‘ole ka ‘i‘ini
I ka pua nani mae ‘ole

Puapua‘i mai ana ke ‘ala
I ho‘opē ‘ia e ka liko lehua
Aia i laila ku‘u ‘i‘ini
Me ‘oe ke aloha niponipo

Kō aloha ka‘u e hi‘ipoi nei
He aloha ‘oe no nā kau a kau
Ho‘i mai, ho‘i mai kāua e pili
E lei, e ku‘u lei poina ‘ole
