Ka Moaʻe
ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ka moaʻe
E lawe hele nei i kuʻu aloha
Ahea la ʻoe hoʻihoʻi mai
A he lei poina ʻole ia naʻu
A he wehi kāhiko nō kuʻu kino
A he hoa i ke anu pili hemo ʻole
E lei aku ʻoe i kuʻu aloha
I koʻolua nou nō kahi mehameha
Mai noho ʻoe a hoʻopoina
I kahi pōkē pua lalana
A kāua la i kui iho ai
Kāhiko nō ka pō ua liʻiliʻi
Ilihia hoʻi au a i kō leo
I ka pane ʻana mai me ka nahenahe
I he aha nei hana nui au
E haʻi mai `oe e kuʻu aloha
He aloha i pili ʻia e ke onaona
Kuʻu ipo i ke kai malino aʻo Kona
Nō Kona mai nō ke kai malino
Nā hau o Mā`ihi e kaulana nei
Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Kuʻu ipo i ke kai malino aʻo Kona
