HAWAIIAN:
Kaulana na pua a'o Hawai'i
Kupa'a mahope o ka 'aina
Hiki mai ka'elele o ka loko 'ino
Palapala 'anunu me ka pakaha
Pane mai Hawai'i moku o Keawe
Kokua na Hono a'a Pi'ilani
Kako'o mai Kaua'i o Mano
Pa'apu me ke one Kakuhihewa
'A'ole 'a'e kau i ka pulima
Maluna o ka pepa o ka 'enemi
Ho'ohui 'aina ku'ai hewa
I ka pono sivila a'o ke kanaka
'A'ole makou a'e minamina
I ka pu'ukala a ke aupuni
Ua lawa makou i ka pohaku,
I ka'ai kamaha'o o ka 'aina
Mahope makou o Lili'u-lani
A loa'a e ka pono a ka 'aina
(A kau hou 'ia e Ke Kalaunu)
Ha'ina'ia mai ana ka puana
Ka po'e i aloha i ka 'aina
ENGLISH:
Famous are the children of Hawai'i
Ever loyal to the land
When the evil-hearted messengenger comes
With his greedy document of extortion
Hawai'i, land of Keawe answers
Pi'ilani bays help
Mano's Kaua'i lends support
And so do the sands of Kakuhihewa
No one will fix a signature
To the paper of the enemy
With its sin of annexation
And sale of native civil rights
We do not value
The government's sums of money
We are satisfied with the stones,
Astonishing food of the land
We back Lili'u-lani
Who has won the rights of the land
(She will be crowned again)
Tell the story
Of the people who love thier land
