​  ​I ‘elekū nou ‘o Kāne 
I ‘elemoe nou ‘o Kanaloa
I ‘elelani nou ‘o Kū
I ‘elehonua ‘o Lono
 
Aloha nā ‘aumākua, nā kupuna, ka po‘e ano ka nui mana
Nānā ‘ike ke kumu, nānā ke piko Kilipue
He pule ho‘ola‘a, nā ho’ali’i i kū pau
He ‘ūlāleo, eia nō ka ula la aha Kūkaniloko koa mana
Ho‘omālamalama nā mea ho‘oku‘i‘o
E hele mai a ‘ike he ‘oia kau
Aloha pau Pele, pau Mano
 
‘O ia, ua ‘ike, aia lā
