Hoʻomau
mau loa
me ka pepehi ole ia oe iho.      
 
E pāʻani ana i kāna ʻāpana ma ke ʻano he makua kāne o ka lāhui
a me kā mākou mau keiki
me ke aloha me ka naaupo ole.      
 
E nānā pono i kāu mau keiki
e hoʻopilikia ʻia e nā ola ʻeha o kekahi i kekahi
me ka hoka ole.      
 
Manaʻo i ka ʻawaʻawa ʻono
e hooloihi malie   
e kau ana i kona poo ma ka umauma o kona makuahine.      
 
A ʻaʻole "kekahi makuahine"   
ʻO nā pili ʻelua e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā ʻōhū o ka noho ʻana
i nā paipu o ka pilina.      
 
E hōʻoiaʻiʻo iā ʻoe iho he hopena nā mea a pau
a ʻaʻole ia ka hopena
a he mea ʻē aʻe inā ʻaʻole mākou i kēia manawa.      
 
ʻO ka ʻomi nui ʻana i ka ʻalani
ʻaʻole i puka mai ka wai
paʻa nā manamana lima ma kahi papahana ʻino.       
 
ʻAʻole kahe ke ola
a inā he mua
ʻAʻohe mea e ʻōlelo e pili ana kēia i ko mākou mau mākua.      
 
ʻO ka inoa inoa i kākau i kona meheu ma ka stele
e ʻike aku i kahi inoa i ʻike ʻia nona
i ka wā e pāʻani ai nā mea ʻē aʻe.      
 
ʻO ka ʻike o kēia relay ʻo Light
kahi i ka hāʻule
noi mai ka pilikia ia kakou e hana.
