Raindrops they hamper my vision
Falling down and cutting incisions, in my mind
While we sail away our time
Blow makani, shout jubilation
O wikiwiki, a keala Tahiti
Millions of stars up in the sky
Hokule'a, Star of Gladness (you're the happy star)
Oh, Hokule'a, Star of Gladness
Stand beside me and be my friend
Hokule'a, you're the Star of Gladness (you're the happy star)
Oh, Hokule'a, Star of Gladness
(bridge)
With our bow, your hull slides through the sea
Guide Hokule'a, Lord we ask you please
In this we pray, Lord to show us the way
Ah, Hokule'a, Star of Gladness (you're the happy star)
Oh, Hokule'a, Star of Gladness
