Grandmother Iʻm calling on you
Need your guidance now
Grandfather Iʻm calling on you

Papahānaumoku ola

E Wākea kuʻu piko

Welo kō hae

Welo kō hae
Welo kō hae
I kū mau mau

Carry your flag
We got your back

Life giving Earth Mother

Life giving Sky Father
Grant us guidance

Wave your flag
Wave your flag
Stand together
Wave your flag
Wave your flag
