Poʻe Koa O Niʻihau - by Kalai Kanahele
Aloha ka poʻe koa aʻo Niʻihau
Noho `ana i ka uluwehi ka poli a`o waiü
Eia mākou ke kiaʻi nei
No ka pono o ke aupuni aʻo ʻAmelika
Hoʻoholo mai ʻoe i kāhi mīkini
No ke kāhea ʻana aku i Kauaʻi
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Noho ʻana i ka uluwehi ka poli aʻo Waiū
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Aloha ka poʻe koa aʻo Niʻihau
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ua kokua mai nei a ka Mākua Lani
Love of the soldiers of Niʻihau
Who live in the heart of Waiū
We are here guarding
For the protection of our country America
We start the machine to operate the radio
To make the daily call to Kauaʻi
The end of my story
Who live in the heart of Waiū
The end of my story
Of the love of the soldiers of Niʻihau
The end of my story
With the help of God
During World War II, an outpost was suggested for the island of Ni`ihau. The outpost called Waiu remained for the duration of the war

Revolted! Revolted
The company of warriors!
Courageous Loyalists!
Loyal to the chief!
The company of warriors!
The company of warriors!
Standing firmly behind!
Standing firmly behind!
The land!
They arose and revolted! Revolted!
The brave war leader!
Fearless Robert Wilcox!

And the Loyalist warriors!
The company of warriors! Strove, indeed!
To restore the rights of Kalākaua
The Loyalists! Revolted! Revolted!
The company of warriors!
With red shirts
Inside the grounds!
Of ʻIolani Palace!
The company of warriors!
Who fought bravely!
Against the enemy of the King!
Against the revolutionary government!
The company of warriors!
Though they failed
Against the enemy!
Of the Hawaiian nation!
The company of warriors!

Not forgotten!
For their bravery!
Great love for the Loyalists!
Chorus:
They arose and revolted!
The company of warriors!
Loyal to the King! The brave Loyalists!

Patriots, indeed!
Source: CD "Palani Vaughn's Best Vol.1"- July 6, 1887, the revolutionary Hawaiian League with an army of 500 haole sharpshooters called the Honolulu Rifles, forced King Kalâkaua to sign a revised version of the Hawaiian Constitution, known infamously as the Bayonet Constitution. This curtailed the power of the throne and made other changes which adversely affected the Hawaiian people, primarily, the right to vote in elections. The morning of June 30, 1889, approximately 80 part-Hawaiian warriors, tried to take possession of `Iolani Palace. Armed with 35 rifles, some farmer rice bird guns and a few pistols, they were led by Robert Kalanihiapo Wilcox, Robert N. Boyd and George Markham. The māmakakaua or company of warriors wamted to restore the rights and powers of their King. Auwē, they were defeated. The composer expresses the sentiment of the Hawaiian people as he pays tribute to the memory of those courageous red-shirted warriors who marched on ʻIolani Palace to defend their King against his enemies in the Hawaiian League.
