Lepe 'Ula'ula

Lepe 'ula'ula lepe o ka moa
Ke hua kûlina 'ai a ka pelehu

​

Keiki mai au no Kawaihae
No ke kipuka 'ili lawe a lilo

​

'Elua wale iho ho'i mâua
Ka hau hâli'i a'o Waimea

​

I laila mâua kukuni e ka hao
Kokope e ka 'i'o kupu kuku'i e ka papa niho

​

Mai nô 'oe a ho'opoina
I ka lawe ha'aheo ake kipuka 'ili

​

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Lepe 'ula'ula lepe o ka moa|

The red comb of the rooster
The corn eating turkey

​

I am a lad from Kawaihae
With a winning lasso

​

Just the two of us
Covered by the dew of Waimea

​

There, we two used the branding iron
Scraped the flesh from the gums

​

Never forget
The lasso and the proud catch

​

Tell the refrain
The red comb of the rooster
