E Ala E, E Ala E
We, the voices behind the face,
Of the Hawaiian nation, the Hawaiian race
Rise for justice the day has come

Repeat the first verse

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,
