O wākea ke kāne
Noho ia papahānaumoku Hānau
ʻo Hawaiʻi he moku
ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi
He kanaka wale no wau,
He kanaka nō hawaiʻi
Ē...
According to my name which is Elijah,
The one that I give praise to, his name is Jah.
Sorry I don't believe in your religion,
No offense to you it's just that I'm a Hawaiian.
Ever since the day you landed on my island,
Many of them passed away and many of them gone.
All of them giving the praises to your only begotten son.
My people have to chant and sing "This is my song,"
I say ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi
He kanaka wale no wau,
He kanaka nō hawaiʻi
Ē...
Wahi a ka ʻino aʻo kaʻi kēnā
Ua welo mai ka ʻike mai na kūpunā
Huli ka lima a i lalo ka lima
Hoʻi i ka ʻāina aʻe mau ka makona
Ho’opiha i ka lua, o ka inaina I ka ʻāina Hawaiʻi, e ʻai me ka iʻa
Uʻe ka imu ʻai ka pī ka pua’a pela nō ko ka Hawaiʻi nohona
Ē...
I never gave my praises up to Jah,
Cause the race of which I came from was raised in Hāloa so,
Wai ka lā hiki ā i ka lā kau, He Hawaiʻi au mau a mau
I said ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi
He kanaka wale no wau,
He kanaka nō hawaiʻi
Ē...
