Ua kākau ʻo Liliʻuokalani i ke mele Aloha ʻOe i ka makahiki 1878. ʻO ia ke mele kaulana loa o Liliʻuokalani. He hoʻāilona nui o Hawaiʻi ʻo ia.

Ka ʻili o "Aloha ʻOe", 1890

Haʻaheo ka ua i nā pali

Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele

E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko

Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka

Hui:

Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe

E ke onaona noho i ka lipo

One fond embrace,

A hoʻi aʻe au

Until we meet again

O ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai

Ke hone aʻe nei i

Kuʻu manawa

ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu ipo aloha

A loko e hana nei

Hui

Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani

Nā pua rose o Maunawili

I laila hiaʻia nā manu

Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka lipo

Hui

Loulou kūwaho

E ho'opololei
  He ʻōmuku kēia mea. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, e kōkua mai i ka holomua ʻana i kēia mea.
