Nâ Kipikoa (Stevedore Hula) - by Bina Mossman
Eia mai nā kipikoa Ke holuholu nei kīkala E hehē iho ai kōʻaka He suwipa lilo mai hoʻi kau   Neʻe imua me ka hauʻoli Iʻō iʻa neʻi kau mai i luna Go all around lūlū lima ʻOu wese ʻoe let-a-go your blouse   Nā kipikoa ua ka puana Nā keiki Hawaiʻi hana noʻeau Hāʻawi ke aloha me ka ʻeha koni Me ka Hawaiian hospitality   Ha`ina hou mai ana ka puana Nâ keiki Hawai`i hana no`eau Hâ`awi ke aloha me ka `eha koni He suwipa lilo mai ho`i kau	Here come the stevedores Swaggering Hearty, your laughter Really carried away Strolling along happily Here and there standing above (the crowd) Shaking hands Open up, relax The stevedores, their story Sons of Hawaiʻi, skilled workers Giving aloha until it hurts The Hawaiian hospitality Tell again, the story Sons of Hawaiʻi, skilled workers Giving aloha until it hurts Really carried away
