Ia oe e Ka-La e alohi nei,

Nau i noii nowelo aku,
Pau na pali paa i ka ikeia,
Ike oe i ka nani a o Himela,

He mauna i lohia i ke onaona,
Kaulana i ka nani me ke kiekie,
Kiekie o Kalani noho mai luna,
Nau i a’e na kapu o Kahiki,
Hehihehi ku ana i ka huku ale,

Lilo ai mea ole na enemi,
Lehelehe eueu hana lokoino,
E ola o Kalani a mau loa,
A kau i ke ao malamalama.
