Mahalo nui ia ke ali`i wahine
`O Lili`ulani `o ka wo hi ku
Ka pipio mai o ke anuenue na waiho'o
lu'u a halikeole'e
E nana na maka i ke ao malama mai
Hawai`i akea i Kaua`i
`O Kalakaua he inoa
`O ka pua mae`ole i ka la
Ka pua maila i ka mauna
I ke kuahiwi o Mauna Kea
Ke 'a maila i Kilauea
Malamalama i wahine kapu
A ka luna o Uwekahuna
I ka pali kapu o Ka`auea
Ea mai ke ali`i kia manu
Ua wehi ka hulu o kamamo
Ka pua nani a`o Hawai`i
`O Kalakaua he inoa
`O Kalakaua he inoa
`O ka pua mae`ole i ka la
Ka pua maila i ka mauna
I ke kuahiwi o Mauna Kea
Ke`a mai la i Kilauea
Malamalama i Wahinekapu
A ka luna o Uwekahuna
I ka pali kapu o Ka`auea
Mahalo nui ia Ke Ali`i wahine
`O Lili`ulani wo ka `o hi ku
Ea mai ke ali`i kia manu
Ua wehi i ka hulu o ka mamo
Ka pua nani a`o Hawai`i
`O Kalakaua he inoa
He Inoa No Kalani Kalakaua - kulele!
----- English lyrics -----
Greatest Thanks To Her Majesty
The Queen Of Hawaii
Captured the rainbow watercolors
Dive until [halikeole'e?]
The eyes look to the nurturing dawn
Hawai`i expands to Kaua`i
Kalakaua is his name
The flower that doesn't wither in the sun
The flower blooms on the mountain
on the high hill of Mauna Kea
Glowing white is Kilauea
Radiant sacred woman
Atop Uweka Huna (Crying Priest Crater)
on the sacred cliff of rising rain
The chief comes to catch the bird
To adorn himself in the feathers of the mamo
The beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is his name
Kalakaua is his name
The flower that doesn't wither in the sun
The flower blooms on the mountain
on the high hill of Mauna Kea
Glowing white is Kilauea
Radiant sacred woman
Atop Uweka Huna (Crying Priest Crater)
on the sacred cliff of rising rain
Greatest Thanks To Her Majesty
The Queen Of Hawaii
The chief comes to catch the bird
To adorn himself in the feathers of the mamo
The beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is his name
In the heavenly name of Kalakaua - cast forth!
