 The cool waters flow peacefully
Through the ancient irrigation systems
In Waipiʻo Valley
The land of the chiefs, tra, la, la, la
The land of the chiefs, tra, la, la, la
The land of the chiefs

The ancient kings
Are protecting this place
Natives fromn generations back
Are planting taro to take care of us, tra, la, la, la
To take care of us, tra, la, la, la
To take care of us

Strive for the highest
Children of Hawaiʻi
For the sacred platform of Lîloa
And assert your leadership, tra, la, la, la
And assert your leadership, tra, la, la, la
And assert your leadership,

Le the story be told
Waipi`o is so beautifjul
The cool waters flow peacefully
Through the anciet irrigation systems, tra, la, la, la
Through the anciet irrigation systems, tra, la, la, la
Through the anciet irrigation systems,
