• Lyrics

  Eia nā kia aloha ʻāina, eō mai
  Mai Kamawaelualani, eō mai
  Ka mai o Manowaiopuna
  Me nā koʻiaweawe o uka
  I ka pā aheahe ʻo Waiʻono
  O Waimakaohiʻiaka
  O Waimakaohiʻiaka

  Ko kula uka, ko kula kai, eō mai
  Ka paʻakai ʻopaeʻula, eō mai
  Ke kai mālinolino aʻo Kanaloa
  E ola mau Kauakahiunu
  Ka hoʻokupu waiwai, he makana
  No nā ʻoe i aloha i ka ʻāina
  No nā ʻoe i aloha i ka ʻāina

  Paʻa ke aloha a ke kupuna, eō mai
  I ka wai kū haʻaheo, eō mai
  Nā loʻi e hānai ai ka lāhui ē
  Ka ʻāina momona ʻo ʻUkula
  Ka ʻāina hoʻōla ʻo Hanapēpē
  Ke kaimana hulali aʻo Kauaʻi
  Ke kaimana hulali aʻo Kauaʻi
