Aloha Hālawa i ka nāulu
Hoapili o ke ʻala o ka ʻawapuhi

He ʻāina maikaʻi ʻo Wailau
Me ke kuahiwi nani o Olokuʻi

Maʻemaʻe Pelekunu i ka ʻehu kai
Hiaʻai ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu

Maikaʻi Waikolu i ka māʻeʻele
Hoʻopumehana i ka puʻuwai hāmama

Puana ka inoa o Molokaʻi
Aloha Koʻolau i kaʻu ʻike

Beloved Hālawa in the sudden showers
Companion to the scent of ginger

A fine land is Wailau
With its beautiful mountain Olokuʻi

Perfect is Pelekunu in the sea spray
Delightful are the thoughts of the people

Splendid is Waikolu numb with cold
Where open hearts bring warmth

Tell the name of Molokaʻi
So beloved is Koʻolau in my sight
