Lyrics

He aloha nō ʻo ʻAhulili
A he lili paha ko iala
I ke kau mau ʻole ʻia
E ka ʻohu kau kuahiwi
Eia iho nō e ka ʻolu
Ke ʻala kūpaoa
Lawa pono kou makemake
E manene ai kou kino
ʻAko aku au i ka pua
Kui nō wau a lei
A i lei poina ʻole
No nā kau a kau
Paʻa ʻia iho a paʻa
Ka ʻiʻini me ka ʻanoʻi
He ʻanoʻi nō ka ʻōpua
Ka beauty o Mauna Hape
