  Aloha Hālawa i ka nāulu
  Hoa pili o ke ‘ala o ka ‘awapuhi

  He ‘āina maika‘i ‘o Wailau
  Me ke kuahiwi nani o Oloku‘i

  Ma‘ema‘e Pelekunu i ka ‘ehu kai
  Hia‘ai ka mana‘o o ka lehulehu

  Maika‘i Waikolu i ka mā‘e‘ele
  Ho‘opumehana i ka pu‘uwai hāmama

  Puana ka inoa o Moloka‘i
  Aloha Ko‘olau i ka‘u ‘ike
