Aloha ke alanui hele la a`o Nu`uanu
Kau pono i ka `ohu la i mua ou

He nani ia uka la a`o Moelana
Me ka wailele hune la i na pali

Ke `ala o ka `awapuhi la ka`u i honi
Ka moani `ana mai la me he ipo `ala

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Aloha ke alanui hele la a`o Nu`uanu




Beloved is the road of Nu`uanu
There in the mist ahead of you

The peaceful upland is beautiful
With the waterfall among the cliffs

The sweet scent of ginger
Wind blown like the essence of a lover

Tell the story
Beloved is the road of Nu`uanu
