E welo mau nō kuʻu aloha
No kuʻu ʻāina ʻo Hawaiʻi
ʻOni a paʻa me ka lōkahi
Aloha ʻāina ʻoiaʻiʻo
Huliāmahi, e kuʻu lāhui
I ka poli o Maunakea
Mai ʻō a ʻō a puni ka honua
Kūpaʻa mau, e nā Hawaiʻi
I ola ē nā kini ē
I ola ē nā kini ē
My love will always prevail
For my homeland of Hawaiʻi
Standing firm in unity
I am truly of my beloved land
Rise up, my people
Be embraced by Maunakea
From all around the world
We remain steadfast, Hawaiʻi
So that our people live
So that our people thrive
