- `Auhea wale `oe e ku`u aloha `eâ
- Ne`ene`e mai `oe, ne`ene`e mai `oe
- A pili pono
Kakona ka `i`ini me ka mana`o
Lalawa a ninihi, lalawe a ninihi
He ma`û ia.
Ha`a mai nâ hene ua noe luna `eâ
Waiho kâhela, waiho kâhela
Luhe i ka wai.
He kai nehe mai i ka `ae one `eâ
I ka pâ honehone, i ka pâ honehone
Hone i ka poli
I ku`u aloha e hone mai `oe `eâ
Pipili a mamau, pipili a mamau
A hô`i`o.
Ha`ina ku`u li`a po`ina `ole
Ke aloha i pili `ia, ke aloha i pili `ia
I ka pu`uwai.
Hea aku no wau e ô mai `oe `eâ
Ali`i `Iolani, Ali`i `Iolani
Nou ke kahua
