A ka luna o Kīlauea
I ke ahi a ka wahine
Haʻa ana ka wahine Pele
ʻŪhi ʻūhā mai ana lā
Nome ana ʻo Pele i Puna
Aia ka palena aʻi kai ʻeā
He inoa nou aʻe Pele ʻeā
Ka wahine noho a i Kīlauea
Hoʻi nō e ke kapu i Kīlauea
E ola mākou a mau loa
Kahea:
He inoa nō Pele

Up at Kīlauea
Lives the fire of the lady
Madame Pele moves
Creaking and crackling as she goes
Pele moves to Puna
The end is in the sea
Thy name is Pele
The lady that lives at Kīlauea
All kapu remains at Kīlauea
And may we live forever
Call:
The name of Pele
