Aia kēia mele i ka puke He Mele Aloha ma ka ʻaoʻao 173.

Lyrics

Ke huli hele aʻe nei ʻoe
E ake ana e kō ka ʻanoʻi a loko
Ma uka ma kai, i ʻō, i ʻaneʻi
Kāu huli ʻana i kō ka ʻiʻini
Pehea nō hoʻi inā ma ʻaneʻi
Kilohi mai ʻoe i nēia uʻi
Na pāpālina aʻo mī nei
Nāu e ʻike mai noho ē ke onaona
Pali ē ke kua, mahina ē ke alo
Ma nei poli ʻoe, pumehana kāua
Nā maka nei, kāʻili puʻuwai
Ke honi nei ihu, ʻolu ʻoe, ʻolu wau
Nēia mau lima, nēia poʻohiwi
ʻAlawa mai ʻoe, aia i lalo ia nani
Ke kiʻina nei lā a ka lawe mālie
Hoʻohihi ʻoe ke ʻike mai
Haʻina ka puana pili kaʻu kēpau
ʻAhahana lilo ʻoe, lilo iā mī nei
