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...)
