Palisa aku nei au
I ka lele pāluna pōniuniu

Nanea i ka lele a ka pāluna
ʻAlawa iho ʻoe ani ka makani

ʻĪnia aku nei au
I ke kau ʻelepani ihu peleleu

ʻAikupika aku nei au
I ke kau kāmelo holo kapakahi

I Palisa aku nei au
Kūlanakauhale nani lua ʻole
 
ʻAlawa iho ʻoe i kahi kiʻi kole
Aia ma ka ʻaoʻao kona kī ʻoni

Mai punihei ʻoe i ka Haole
Ka lima palamino na ʻaukake

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kūlanakauhale nani lua ʻole
