Hawaii Ponoi

1. Hawaii’s very own, Look to your sovran Lord, Your chief that’s heaven-born, Who is your King.

Refrain:

Protector, heaven-sent, Kamehameha great, To vanquish every foe, With conquering spear.

2. Men of Hawaii’s land, Look to your native chiefs, Your sole surviving lords, The nation’s pride.

Refrain:

3. Men of Hawaiian stock, My nation ever dear, With loins begirt for work, Strive with your might.

Refrain.
