Noho ana ʻo Laka i ka uluwehiwehi
Kū ana i luna ʻo Moʻohelāia
Ka ʻōhiʻa kū i luna ʻo Maunaloa
Aloha mai Kaulanaʻula iā mākou
Eia ka ʻula la, he ʻula leo
He mōhai he kānaenae naʻu iā ʻoe
E Laka ē, hoʻoulu ʻia
Laka lives in the verdure
Standing at Moʻohelia
The ʻōhiʻa stands on summit of Maunaloa
Love comes from Kaulana-a-ʻula to me
Here is the sacred chant
A supplicating prayer I offer to you
O Laka, give me inspiration
