  Hoehoene ka makani ‘Eka a‘o Kona
  Māpuna leo heahea o nā kūpuna
  Hō‘olu i ka ‘āina punahele o Kekaha
  Hahani mai ana i ku‘u nui kino

  Hui:
  He aloha Ka‘ūpūlehu
  Lā ‘eā, lā ‘eā

  Hanohano Hualālai pi‘ina i ka lewa
  ‘A‘ahu kūpa‘a mau i ka uhiwai
  Waiwai nō ke kumu o ka wai ola
  Ho‘olale i ka maka ‘ana i ka ‘a‘ā

  Ohaoha i ka weo o ka ulu Lehua
  Māhuahua a‘e i ka hāli‘i a Pele
  Lehiwa ‘o Hainoa, kau i ka nu‘u
  ‘Uhola nō ia i ke ano o nā lani
