E Hawaiʻi nui kuauli
E nā hono aʻo Piʻilani [1]
Oʻahu o Kākuhihewa
Kauaʻi o Manokalanipō

Hui:
E naʻi wale nō ʻoukou
I kuʻu pono ʻaʻole pau
I ke kumu pono o Hawaiʻi
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono

I hoʻokahi kahi ka manaʻo
I hoʻokahi kahi puʻuwai
I hoʻokahi kahi ke aloha
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono

He leo aloha ia paʻē mai
Mai nā kūklu mai o Kahiki
E ī mai ana iā ʻoe e Hawaiʻi
E mālama i ka maluhia
E mālama i ka maluhia
