Lyrics
He aloha moku o Keawe
ʻĀina i ka nani me ka maluhia
Hoʻokūkū au me Kaleponi
Hawaiʻi nō ka ʻoi o nā ʻailana
Na kuʻu puni i kono mai iaʻu
E naue i ka ʻāina, ʻāina malihini
ʻĀina kamahaʻo i kaʻu ʻike
Ua uhi paʻa pū ʻia e ka ua noe
ʻIke i ka hau hoʻokuakea ʻili
Hoʻopumehana i ke ahi kapuahi
Ka ʻiniki a ke anu me he ipo ala
E koi mai ana iaʻu e huli hoʻi mai
Haʻina mai ana ka puana
ʻĀina i ka nani me ka maluhia
