Vocal 1:
Greatly admired is Her Majesty
The Chiefess of Hawai'i
Lili'ulani, ruler of the land
The divine Wohi ruler to the throne
The arches of rainbows
Beams of color unequaled
Creations of love
Passing along within gentle rains
Look to the brightness of day
From the vastness of Hawai'i to Kaua'i
In the heavens brightness
The beauty is revealed

Vocal 2:
Kalakaua is his name
A flower that never fades in the sun
It blooms on the summit
On the mountain, Mauna Kea
Burning bright at Kilauea
Illuminating Wahinekapu
Upon the heights of Uwekahuna
Is the sacred cliff of Ka'auea
Come forth, king of bird catchers
Adorned with the plumage of the mamo
He is the beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is his name
