I aloha ia, e ka Mo'i
Hanohano no ia
E ka lehulehu o Hawai'i
Aloha no Kalakaua
Kauoha 'oia, e ke Ali'i
I ka ho'iho'i o ka hula
A'o ka hula no ka 'oiwi
Konikoni pau'ole i ka pu'uwai
Uluhia wau i ka hali'a
'O Hi'iaka ha'a i ka ua
'O ka ua noenoe o Kanilehua
Ho'opulu i ka punawai a ke Ali'i
'Akahi no wau ke nonoi
E hula ana ma kou alo
Mahalo wale e ke Ali'i
Aloha no Kalakaua
Translation:
Beloved is the King
Honored indeed by the
People of Hawai'i
So beloved is Kalakaua
The King commanded
The return of hula
For the native
Hula be as forever in the heart
I am filled with the longing
Of Hi'iaka dancing in the rain
The misty rain of Kanilehua
Drenched in the royal springs
My one request is
To dance in your presence
In gratitude oh Chief
So beloved Kalakaua
