E Ala Ē, E Ala Ē
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,

[Repeat the first verse]

[Chorus]
E Ala Ē, ‘eâ, ‘eâ, ‘eâ, ‘eâ,
E Ala Ē, ‘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 Ē, ‘eâ, ‘eâ, ‘eâ, E Ala Ē
[Repeat several times]
