Lyrics:

Ulili �
(Ahahana ulili ehehene ulili ahahana)
Ulili hoi
(Ehehene ulili ahahana ulili ehehene)
Ulili holoholo kahakai �
O ia kai ua lana m�lie

The sandpiper
The sandpiper returns
Sandpiper runs along the beach
Where the sea is peaceful and calm

Hone ana ko leo e ulili �
O kahi manu noho ae kai
Kiai ma ka lae ao kekaha
O ia kai ua lana m�lie

The voice of the sandpiper is soft and sweet
Little bird who lives by the sea
Ever watchful on the beaches
Where the sea is calm

Hone ana ko leo k�lea �
Pehea o Kahiki? Maikai n�
O ia �ina uluwehiwehi
I hui p� ia me ke onaona

The voice of the ulili is soft and sweet
How are you, stranger? Very well
You grace our land
Where the sea is always calm
