Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai
by Edith Kanakaʻole

He ho'oheno ke 'ike aku
Ke kai moana nui lā
Nui ke aloha e hi'ipoi nei
Me ke 'ala o ka līpoa

He līpoa i pae i ke one
Ke one hinuhinu lā
Wela i ka lā ke hehi a'e
Mai mana'o he pono kēia

Ho'okohukohu e ka limu kohu
Ke kau i luna o nā moku lā
'O ia moku 'ula lā e hō
'Oni ana i 'ō i 'ane'i

Ha'ina mai ka puana
Ka līpoa me ka limu kohu
Hoapili 'oe me ka pāhe'e
'Anoni me ka līpalu

ʻOno maoli nō!
