• Lyrics

  Aloha nō paha ʻoe e ka pua o ka hēʻī
  Ke ʻī aʻe nei nō au, ʻo ka ʻoi o Kapālama
  Mālama ʻia ko kino o lilo mai i ʻaneʻi
  I ʻaneʻi nō māua i ka malu o ke kukui

  Hui:
  Sweet rosebud o ka uka onaona
  Pulupē i ka hunahuna wai
  I noho a kamaʻāina
  Ka makani ʻŌlauniu

  Aloha nō paha ʻoe, e ke anu o Waimea
  E ka ua Kīpuʻupuʻu
  Lei kōkō ʻula i ke pili
  Hāliʻi maila i luna welelau o ke kuahiwi
  Kuahiwi kū kilakila
  Māpu ke ʻala me ke onaona
