HRM Queen Lili‘uokalani (1838–1917) arr. Jon Magnussen

Mahalo piha, mō‘ī o ‘Enelani
Ku‘i kou kaulana nā ‘āina a pau,
Nā kai ‘ākau nā one hema
‘Ikea kou ‘ihi mana nui.
Eia mākou i kou kapa kai
I kou lā nui jubilī,
I hi‘i mai i ko mākou aloha,
Ma luna ou ka malu o ka lani.

Hau‘oli‘oli, ‘emepela o ‘Inia
I kēia makahiki jubilī,
‘Ākoakoa nā ali‘i ‘aimoku
A puni ke ao holo‘oko‘a
E hi‘ilani, e mililani,
Ua hui pū ‘ia me Hawai‘i.
E uhi mai ka lani i kona nani,
E ola ka mō‘ī ke akua.
