Aloha iā Lahaina
Lālā i ka lehu ahi
Kūpaʻa i ka hoʻomanaʻo
Me ka haliʻa, aloha e
Ke aloha o ka ʻāina moe
Nā hale pili ʻolu
Nā wai ʻehā e hoʻoheno
I ka nani o ke ao pūliki
E kahea nei iā ‘oe
E ala e nā hoa
Ke aloha i ka ʻāina

Ka hana nui a nā koa ē
Noho i ka hale i ka lauahi
E kahea nei iā ‘oe
E ala e nā hoa
Ke aloha i ka ʻāina

E kahea nei iā ‘oe
E ala e nā hoa
Ke aloha i ka ʻāina
E ola mau
Hoʻāla hou i ka pua
E hoʻomau no nā kūpuna
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina
Aloha nui e Lahaina
