He maʻalahi loa ka manaʻo o ka ʻīlio, ʻoiai e ʻai kekahi a hele pū kekahi poʻe e kekahi. I ka honua o nā ʻīlio, ʻo kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi he "ʻino loa", ʻōlelo wau iā ʻoe ʻaʻole e hana!

E kāpī i ka mea ʻala ma luna o nā ʻīlio

Maikaʻi ke ʻala o ka ʻīlio,

Manaʻo mākou he ʻono pono,

I kona manaʻo, ikaika loa paha.

No laila, ʻaʻole pono ka mea nona ka mea ʻala ma luna o nā ʻīlio i mea e honi ai.

Hiki ke hoʻopilikia i nā ʻīlio a me nā mea ʻala ikaika.

Hoʻopilikia i ko lākou ʻono,

ʻAʻole maikaʻi no nā ʻīlio.

ʻAʻole pane pinepine i nā ʻīlio

ʻOliʻoli loa nā ʻīlio i ka poʻe a lākou e makemake ai,

E hoʻopuni pinepine iā ʻoe,

Inā i kēlā me kēia manawa ʻaʻole ʻoe e pane i kona hoihoi,

Ma hope o ka manawa, manaʻo ka ʻīlio ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake hou iā ia,

A laila e hauʻoli ʻoe, ʻaʻole hoihoi i kekahi mea.

Paʻa loa ke kaula huki

I ka hele ʻana i ka ʻīlio, lawe mai i kahi kaula,

Hiki i kēia ke hoʻomalu maikaʻi i ka ʻīlio,

Aka, nakinakiia ka ilio i ke kaula.

E hoʻomaopopo i nā manaʻo a me nā manaʻo o ka mea nona.

Ina huki mau ka mea nana i ke kaula,

E hōʻoluʻolu loa i ka ʻīlio,

E manaʻo hopohopo a hiki ke holo a puni.

Pa i ka ʻīlio

ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā hana hewa ka ʻīlio, e loaʻa iā ia ka lunamanaʻo hewa.

Aole au e aa e nana pono aku i na maka ninau o ka mea hookipa.

Ua ʻoi aku ko lākou makaʻu i ke kuʻi a me ke kī ʻana mai ko lākou mau haku.

Ua nui ka hahau ana a ka haku ia lakou.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia he hewa nui ka ʻīlio. Hiki i ka mea nona ke aʻo iki.

ʻO ia ke ala kūpono e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi e hōʻemi i ka manawa e hana hewa ai.
