HUI
E mau ana ka ha‘aheo
Ka ha‘aheo o ka nohona
Ke ola kamaehu o ka lāhui
O ka lāhui Hawai‘i
E mau ana ka ha‘aheo
Ka ha‘aheo o ka nohona
Ka lāhui pono‘ī o nā kai
O nā kai ‘ewalu
Me nā mea ‘oi loa
Mai nā wā ma mua
E holomua kākou i kēia ao
Ua hiki mai ka wana‘ao
No ka ho‘ōla
Ā me ka ho‘āla hou
E hō‘ā kākou
I ka lama kūpono
No nā hulu Hawai‘i
E kūkulu a‘e kākou
No ke ea o ka ‘āina
Me ke aloha ā me ke ahonui
CHORUS
Pride shall endure
Pride in our way of life
A way that is firm and resolute in our people
The Hawaiian people
Pride shall endure
Pride in our way of life
For these people of the seas
The eight seas
Using the very best things
From times past
Let us move forward in this age
The dawn has indeed arrived
For revitalization
And reawakening
Let us set aglow
The flame of justice
For all Hawaiians
Let us build
For the life of the land
With compassion and patience
