O Lanakila Ke Ka Ahi Ali`i

O Lanakila ke ka ahi ali`i
Nana lawe mai kahu aupuni

A hiki o kalani i Moanalua
Ka uwapo holuholu a`o Hâlana

Alawa iho `oe ma ka `ao`ao
Ka nome ka huila i ke alahao

A`ohe ou loa a e Mânana

Ho`okahi na leo a`o ke kuhina
Ho`opa`a ia mai na mikini

Kunou welo pâpale ke aloha

A kau o kalani i ke ka`a pio
Huli aku a noho ho`ola`ila`i

O Lili`uoklani la he inoa:

Kahea:
He inoa no Lili`uokalani

Call:
Lanakila, The Royal Train

Lanakila was the royal train
That bore hither the crown princess

Bearing her through Moanalua
Over the swaying bridge at Hâlana

A glance out the sides showed
The wheels rolling over the track

Mânana did not seem far
When the engineers’ did their work

The minister spoke just once
“Make the engine stop here”

Greeted by bows and waving hats
By her subjects, her people

The princess boarded a carriage
There she turned and sat calmly

The whip was snapped, the horses
Pranced over the plain of Lellehua

We call to you, o answer us
Lili`uokalani is your name

Call:
For the name of Lili`uokalani
