State Anthem of Hawaii - Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī (Instrumental)

"Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" ("Hawaiʻi's Own") was adopted as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1876. Hawaii became a U.S. state in 1959, and the song was officially adopted as a state symbol in 1967. The melody is reminiscent of "God Save the Queen" and the Prussian anthem "Heil dir im Siegerkranz". "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" is commonly sung at sporting events in Hawaii, immediately after the U.S. national anthem.

(Hawaiian Lyrics)
Hawaiʻi ponoʻī,
Nānā i kou mōʻī,
Kalani aliʻi,
Ke aliʻi.

Hawaiʻi ponoʻī,
Nānā i nā aliʻi,
Nā pua muli kou,
Nā pōkiʻi.

Hawaiʻi ponoʻī,
E ka lāhui ē,
ʻO kāu hana nui
E ui ē.

Hui:
Makua lani ē,
Kamehameha ē,
Na kaua e pale,
Me ka ihe.
