Kula 'ula 'ula poni
'alani melemele polu
'akala 'oma 'oma 'o

Come to the festival of colours
Celebrate the festival of colours

Shake your serpent thrashing hair
Come and tint the sleeping air
Across the seas from india
But a rainbow can start anywhere

Clutching handfuls of the powder
Throw it everywhere
Chanting out their many names
Kick it to the wind...

Kula 'ula 'ula poni
'alani melemele polu
'akala 'oma 'oma 'o...
