He aloha nā ʻono Kau (mau) a ka Hawaiʻi Ka ʻanae momona Māhu pū ʻia iho Lomilomi ʻia iho Me nēia ʻinamona ʻAi kōwī ʻuoʻuo E pahe`e ke momoni Haʻina ka puana ʻAi a ka Hawaiʻi |
Beloved are the delicacies Preserved by the Hawaiians The succulent mullet Its meat steamed completely Rubbed down With this candlenut relish Sticky, squeezed out food Goes down smooth when you swallow Tell the refrain Food of the Hawaiians |
