We, the voices behind the face,

Of the Hawaiian nation, the Hawaiian race

Rise for justice the day has come

For all our people to stand as one,

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ,

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ,

(Repeat the first verse)

Chorus:

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ,

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ,

E huli i ka ho'i i ka pâkini alamihi

Gone are the days of the alamihi* ways

E kiko i ka piko o ka mana o ka po'e

The power of the people is the piko*

`O ka piko ke aloha o ka 'âina, o ka 'âina

We the warriors born to live

On what the land and sea can give

Defend our birthright to be free

Give our children liberty,

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat verse 2).

E Ala E, `eâ, `eâ, `eâ , E Ala E (repeated several times...)
