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
