He ono, he ono no ke kole maka onaona,
He ono, he ono no ka oio halale ke kai,
He ono, he ono no ka amaama lawalu,
He ono, he ono no ka manini pulehu,
He ono, he ono no ka luau pulehu,
He ono, he ono no ka wai o ka niu haohao,
He ono, he ono no i luna, i luna ae,
He ono, he ono no i lalo, i lalo iho,
Hamau ko leo e ke aloha,
