Hula O Ka Hui Kaʻawai - by Matilda Kauwe

Kaulana e ka hui kaʻawai ē
ʻO ka helu ʻekahi me ka mikioi ē

Ke kani e, mai e ka pele ē
Me ka ʻeleu ʻoe, huana ka makani ē

Lohe mua ē, i nā hua helu ē
E ke kikowaena aʻo ke kaona ē

E ō e, e ka heke ē,
E nā huapala maka onaona ē

Haʻina e, mai ka puana ē
ʻO ka helu ʻekahi me ka mikioi ē
Famous is the fire department
Number one for skill
 
When the bell rings
Quick, you must be fast
 
Listen first to the count
From the center of town
 
Keep going, you're the choice
Of the sweethearts with the gentle eyes
 
Tell the refrain
Of the number one for skill
