`Ainamalu (Shady Land) - by Rene Brooks

 
Auhea wale `oe e `Ainamalu
Ku`u home aloha ma ka lihi kai

`Ike aku i ka nani o ia home
Ma ke malu o ka lau niu e holu nape a`e nei

Kaua wale no e ho`oipoipo nei
Ko aloha konikoni nei i ka pu`uwai

Kaulana ka inoa o Kahalelaukoa
Makuahine aloha a ka lehulehu

E ô mai `oe e Keoki I`i
Keiki aloha o Hawai`i nei

Ha`ina ka inoa e `Ainamalu
Ku`u home aloha ma ka lihi kai
Listen Ainamalu, this is for you
My beloved home by the sea shore
 
See the beauty of this home
In the shade of the swaying coco palm leaves
 
We two linger to romance
Your aloha beats in the heart
 
Famous the name of Kahalelaukoa
Loving mother to everyone
 
Answer, George II
Beloved child of Hawai`i
 
Tell the name of Ainamalu
My beloved home by the seashore
