**Pauku 1** (Alakaʻi)
I ka malu o ka po,
Ke kala aku nei au i kou malamalama,
Akā, hāwanawana haʻahaʻa ka hāmau.
Ma hea i hele ai ke aloha ʻoluʻolu?
(Ka hope)
ʻO, ma hea i hele ai ke aloha?
E haʻi mai iaʻu, ma hea i hele ai ke aloha?
**Chorus** (Lead)
Madara kuu ipo, 'o 'oe ka'u moe i ka pouli.
Me kēlā me kēia hanu aʻu e lawe ai, hoʻā ʻoe i ka ʻula.
(Ka hope)
Makemake mākou i ka wanaʻao,
I kēia ao ua huki mākou.
**Pauku 2** (Alakaʻi)
Manaʻo kēlā me kēia manawa i kahi mamao loa,
E like me ka makemake i ka hōkū,
I loko o kēia puʻuwai iini oʻu,
Ke manaʻolana nei au e lilo ʻoe i hōʻailona noʻu.
(Ka hope)
ʻO, e lilo i hōʻailona koʻu!
E haʻi mai iaʻu naʻu nō ʻoe!
**Chorus** (Lead)
Madara kuu ipo, o oe ko'u hoku mamao,
I ka hohonu o koʻu ʻuhane, ʻaʻole ʻoe i mamao.
(Ka hope)
Makemake mākou i ka wanaʻao,
I kēia ao ua huki mākou.
**Bridge** (Alakaʻi)
Me ke ahi e ʻā ana,
I ka malu, ʻaʻohe makaʻu,
Hoʻopiha ka makemake i ka hakahaka,
ʻO kēlā me kēia puʻuwai, ʻike wau i kou lokomaikaʻi.
(Ka hope)
Manaʻo i kou lokomaikaʻi!
Auē, ʻike wau i kou lokomaikaʻi!
**Pauku 3** (Alakaʻi)
ʻO ka manaʻolana he muliwai e kahe ākea,
I kēia ʻiʻini, ʻo ʻoe koʻu alakaʻi,
Me he mele la ka makemake,
Me kou aloha e ikaika ai au.
(Ka hope)
ʻAe, e ikaika wau!
Me kou aloha, no'u!
**Chorus** (Lead)
Madara kuu ipo, aole anei oe e imi i kou ala?
I ka malie o ka po, mai auwana kakou.
(Ka hope)
Makemake mākou i ka wanaʻao,
I kēia ao ua huki mākou.
**Outro** (Lead)
Madara kuu ipo, e lele ke aloha.
Ma kēia hula o ke aloha, e apo kākou i ka pō.
(Ka hope)
E apo i ka po!
Auwe, apo i ka po!
