• Lyrics

  Kāua i ka holoholo
  I ka pō mahina laʻilaʻi
  E kilo hoʻonanea
  I nā hōkū o ka lani

  Kō mai ana ke ʻala
  O ka pua o ka pīkake
  I halihali ʻia mai
  E ka makani kolonahe

  Hoʻolono ana i ke kani
  Honehone a ka ʻukulele
  Me ka mele hoʻohauʻoli
  Hoʻolana i ka puʻuwai

  Huli aku kāua i uka
  I ka ʻā a nā kukui
  Ua like me nā hōkū
  E kau ana i nā pali

  Haʻina mai ka puana
  No ka pō mahina laʻilaʻi
  E kilo hoʻonanea
  I nā hōkū o ka lani

  Haʻina mai ka puana
  No ka pō mahina laʻilaʻi
  Hoʻolono ana i ke kani
  Honehone a ka ʻukulele
