Eō mai Ka'uku kū hanohano i ka mālie; Ka lei umauma o Hilo Palikū Lei hiwa lani i wili 'ia i ke kuia o Kahua. Līhau puni i ka makani Kihenelehua Ua lohe 'ia ka nakulu o 'Akaka Mai nā kapu ahi a ka wahine I ke one ho'i o Kaipalaoa Pae a'e i nā ulu lā'au 'ulu o Pi'opi'o A kau ma waena i nā lehua mamo o Ho'oulu I ke au ka wana'ula lani e 'ō'ili mai. I ola e nā kini, I ola e nā mamo ē

I Standing stately in the ealm, Ka'uku: The breast wreath of Hilo at the cliffs Entwined at the plains of Kahua is my sacred wreath. Surrounded by the Lehua-basket wind rain The rumbling of 'Akaka is heard From the sacred fire of the woman To the returning sands of Kaipalaoa Coming ashore at the breadfruit groves of Pi'opi'o To settle among the yellow lehua blossoms of Ho'oulu In the time when the red streak in the heaven appears. Life to the people, Life to the children. : p.ri ia ine ka 'ae o ka haku mele (printed with tho petmis$ion ot <he composer).
