Kapālama uka ku kiʻeikiʻe
Ka hale kula nui o Kamehameha

Huli aku nânâ i ka moana
Me ka nani kamahaʻo ma ke komohana

Hui:
Haʻaheo haʻaheo
Nā keiki o ke kula o Pauahi
Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i nā ʻōpio
Mau ke aloha no Hawaiʻi

ʻO ke ānuenue nā keiki ou
Me na wai hoʻolu`u pili puia kou

Loʻohia ka manaʻo i ka ike ʻana
I ka nani kamahaʻo o Kamehameha

On the heights of Kapalama majestically stands
The grand school of Kamehameha

It faces out to the ocean,
And the wonderful beauty in the west

Chorus:
Proud, proud
The children of Pauahi's school!
The life of the land is perpetuated in the youth,
Always (with) real love (for) Hawaiʻi

Same as the rainbow are your children,
With colors, they cling together

My mind is overwhelmed by the view
Of the wonderful beauty of Kamehameha.
