Pupu A'o 'Ewa

Ho'ia 'au i kawa...
He mai kai...
Pupu (a'o 'Ewa)
I ka nu'a (naa kaanaka)
E naue mai ('a e 'ike)
I ka mea hou ('o ka 'aina)
Ahe 'aina (ua kaulana)
Mai na kupuna mai
Alahula Pu'uloa he ala hele no Ka'ahupahau (Ka'ahupahau)
 
Translation

Shells of Ewa

Leaving in the distance...
To the ocean...1
Shells (of Ewa)
Bringing news (of the people)
They come (to learn)

Oh, this land (so well-known)
From time of ages past
All of Pu'uloa3is graced by Ka'ahupahau4(Ka'ahupahau)
