There in the uplands of Ka`iwi`ula
Stands Kamehameha
Home loved by the children of the chiefess Pauahi
Because of her love and desire for the
Welfare of the Hawaiian people
It stands there in pride
Kamehameha

Chorus:
With joy and with happiness
I speak with admiration that the world may know
You stand at the top
There is none other like you
Hawai`i is blessed in you
Long may your name live
Long may Kamehameha live
May Kamehameha live
