ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ke ʻala tuberose
He moani ʻaʻala i ke ano ahiahi
Ua like me ka lau vabine
I ka hoene i ka poli pili paʻa

Hui:
ʻIke hou ana i ka nani aʻo Hilo
I ka uluwehiwehi o ka lehua
Lei hoʻohihi
Hiʻi a ka malihini
Mea ʻole i ke kono a ke aloha

E aloha aʻe ana i ka makani Puʻulena
Ka makani kaulana o ka ʻāina
Home noho a na ʻiʻiwi polena
Mea ʻole i ke kono a ke aloha

Nani wale no Hilo
I ka ua Kanilehua
Me he mea ala e ʻi mai ana
Eia iho a hiki mai
