Kamaka ka ikena ia Hi’iawe All eyes are on Hi’ilawe
i ka papa lohi mai a’o Maukele In the sparkling lowlands of Maukele
Pakele mai au i ka nui manu I escape all the birds
Hauwala’au nei puni Waipi’o Chattering everywhere in Waip’io
A’ole no wau e loa’a mai I am not caught
A he uhiwai au no ke kuahiwi for I am the mist of the mountains
He hiwahiwa au no ka makua I am the darling of the parents
A he lei’a’i na ke kuapuna And a lei for the necks of grandparents
Na puna ke’ala i hali’ia mai The fragrance is wafted from Puna
Noho i ka wailele a’o Hi’ilawe And lives at Hi’ilawe
Ha’ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana Tell the refrain
Kamaka ka ‘ikena ia Hi’ilawe All eyes are on Hi’ilawe
