He aloha kēia no Kalaupapa
ʻAuhea ʻoukou e nā koa ahuahu, eō
Ahuwale Kalawao me Kalaupapa
Noho papa i ka ua Koʻiawe
He awe aloha no nā kau a kau
Hū mai ke kai uliuli o Kawaluna
Ka līpoa lilo i ke kai ʻokia
Hao mai Kaʻupumoaʻula
Heahea mai ke oha o Mōkapu me ʻŌkala
Kalakala ka ʻili i ka malu hala ʻula
ʻUla ʻole i ka lihi o ka pō
Pūlamahia ka hulili o Hoʻolehua
Ua ao ka pō, e ao mālamalama
Eia nā leo aloha ʻāina o Kalaupapa
E kūpaʻa mau ana nā pali hāuliuli
I ke kuamoʻo o ia kaha
No ka poʻe i aloha i ka ʻāina
Puana ʻia ke aloha no Kalaupapa
Ka ʻāina kāhelahela i ke Koʻiawe
He awe aloha no nā kau a kau
ʻAuhea ʻoukou e nā koa aloha ʻāina, eō
