Ē Māmā ē mai uwē ʻoe
Hele aʻe nō au
A huli hoʻi mai
Hele ʻia i ka lā o ka leʻale'a
A komo ke aloha
A huli hoʻi mai
O wau kau i kapa mai ai
He līʻō Kaleponi
Piʻi nô ka hui
O ka piʻi no kau a ka piʻolani
O ka lina poepoe
Hoʻokahi mile
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ē māmā ē
Mai uwē ʻoe

Dearest mother I cry for you
I am leaving
But, I will return
This day I leave my joy
Is based on charity
But, I will return
I am summoned
To California and am
frightened
But will persevere as part of the group
- I travel inland to a high point
- To the race track one mile
-
- Tell the refrain
- Dearest mother
- I cry for you
