Kipa i ka ʻolu o Puʻuwaʻawaʻa
E hiʻi ʻia mai la e Hualālai
Ia home i puīa me ke aloha
Pihanakalani wehi i ka pua
Hui:
ʻO ka ʻoluʻolu nō me ka nahenahe
Ke kuini maoli pua o ka home
Keliʻiheleloa ʻoe ʻo Kinaʻu
Ke aliʻi wahine o Puʻuwaʻawaʻa
Pumehana ke aloha ʻo Lope Haina
Keiki o ka āina haʻaheo
Hanahono Hawaiʻi ua kiʻekiʻe
Kilohana nā kuahiwi ʻekolu
Ke pā mai nei e ka Mumuku
Ka makani o lau niu o Kekaha
Kāhea mai Kīholo i ka laʻi
ʻAuʻau i ke kai ko nahenahe

Visiting in the kindness of
Puʻuwaʻawaʻa
Held in the arms of
Hualālai
A home whose atomsphere is
affection
Pihanakalani, decorated with
flowers
Chorus:
Of kindness and gentle
manner
The true queen, center of the
home
You are a chiefess like Kinaʻu
Chiefess of Puʻuwaʻawaʻa
Warm is the aloha of Bob
Hind
Child of the land and proud of
it
Distinguished is Hawai`i and
lofty
Outanding are the three
mountains
The Mumuku wind is blowing
The wind that sways the coco palms of Kekaha
Kīholo Pond is calling in the calm
To come and bathe in her still water
