O ke kaʻa Rapid Transit kaʻu aloha
I ka nome mālie i ka alahao

Hao ana e ka manaʻo ke kalaiwa
Ehuehu i ke kula loa o Kalihi

Ua laʻi ka helena me kuʻu aloha
Hone ana ka manaʻo i kuʻu poli

Hoʻolale mai ana a e huli hoʻi
E ʻike i ka nani o ke kapitala

Ka ihona o ke kula la o Kalihi
Pa ana ka makani poʻai hale

I laila wau i kīlohi iho ai
I ka nani uluwehi a o ke kaona

Kau nui aku hoʻi koʻu manaʻo
E ʻike i ka nani aʻo Manoa

I laila wau ai i ka iho ai
O ke alanui nani kikeʻekeʻe

O ka hana ana ia a kaʻauwila
He pakika he paheʻe ka ihona pali
