Aloha e na kama ma kēia `āina
Wahipana, wahikapu, wahi kaulana
 
Ke `awa noho ma ka piko mokupuni
Nakolokolo kani a kamalani
 
Eia na pua Polihiwahiwa
Ke holo, ke `imi i ka wahi `awa
 
Auhea wale `oe, ka mo`o o ka piko?
Hō`ike, alaka`i me kou leo.
 
  


Ka Mo`o o ka Piko
Translation
​
Aloha to the descendants of this land,
a special place, a sacred place, a renowned place.
 
The mountain mist dwells upon the center of our island,
where the cries of our ali`i children reverberate.
 
Here are the progeny of Polihiwahiwa,
who have journeyed in search of the ceremonial place.
 
Where are you the stories of our piko?
Show us, guide us with your voice.
 
 
Me ka mahalo a me ke aloha `aina,
Kekaulike
