  Nani Heʻeia, ʻeā ʻeā
  Māʻeliʻeli, ʻeā ē
  Noho kuaʻāina, ʻeā ʻeā
  ʻOhi pāpaʻi, ʻeā ē
  ʻAi limu kohu, ʻeā ē

  Nuʻa palaʻā, ʻeā ʻeā
  O ʻIolekaʻa, ʻeā ē
  A ʻo Waipao, ʻeā ʻeā
  I ka uluwehi, ʻeā ē
  O Haʻikū, ʻeā ē

  Hui:
  Heʻeia-uli, Heʻeia-kea
  He nani Heʻeia ē

  Lae Keʻalohi, ʻeā ʻeā
  ʻAu i ke kai, ʻeā ē
  Koʻa mokumoku, ʻeā ʻeā
  O Heʻeia, ʻeā ē
  Ahu-a-Laka, ʻeā ē

  Wehi pua hau, ʻeā ʻeā
  No Meheanu, ʻeā ē
  Kiaʻi loko, ʻeā ʻeā
  Pewa kapalili, ʻeā ē
  O ka ʻamaʻama, ʻeā ē

  Pali hāuliuli, ʻeā ʻeā
  Koʻolaupoko, ʻeā ē
  Home hoʻokipa, ʻeā ʻeā
  O nā kūpuna, ʻeā ē
  Poina ʻole, ʻeā ē

  Hali ʻia mai, ʻeā ʻeā
  E ka Ulumano, ʻeā ē
  Ke aloha nui, ʻeā ʻeā
  O ka haku ʻāina, ʻeā ē
  Kaʻehu Pākī, ʻeā ē
  Makua hiʻilei, ʻeā ē
  Ke Aliʻi Pauahi, ʻeā ē
