Ka`û Nui - Mary Pûku`i & Maddy Lam
He aloha ku`u one hânau
`O Ka`û nui hiehie i ka makani
He home noho mau na ka wahine
Ka aîwaîwa nani o Kîlauea

Ho`oheno i ka wai o Palahemo
La wai `âwili me ke kai
Me ka ua kaulana a`o Ha`ao
Ho`opulu `ele i ka `ili o ka malihini

Hanohano mau no `o Punalu`u
I ka wai anu a`o Puhau
I ka `ili`ili hânau a`o Kôloa
A me ka nalu holu a`o Kâwâ

Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana
No Ka`û niu hiehie i ka makani
He `âina aloha na ke kupa
A me na u`i a`o Kîlauea

 Beloved are the sands of my birth
Great Ka`u, distinguished in the wind
A home where the woman dwells
The wondrous beauty of Kîlauea

Cherished is the pool of Palahemo
Where fresh and salt water mix
And the famous rain Ha`ao
Drenching travelers to the skin

Always honored is Punalu`u
In having the cold spring, Puhau
The birth pebbles of Koloa
And the swaying surf of Kawa

The story is told
For great Ka`u distinguished in the wind
A land loved by her people
And by the lovely one of Kîlauea
