We, the voices behind the face,

of the hawaiian nation, the hawaiian race

rise for justice the day has come

for all our people to stand as one,

e ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,

e ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,

(repeat the first verse)

e ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,

e ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ,

e huli i ka ho'i i ka pâkini alamihi

gone are the days of the alamihi* ways

e kiko i ka piko o ka mana o ka po'e

the power of the people is the piko*

'o ka piko ke aloha o ka 'âina, o ka 'âina

We the warriors born to live

on what the land and sea can give

defend our birthright to be free

give our children liberty,

(repeat)

(repeat verse 2).

E ala e, 'eâ, 'eâ, 'eâ, e ala e (repeated several times...)
