`Aia i ka nani la i Ma`ili
`O ka ipu kukui oma`oma`o

Ho`olohe aku au i ke ahiahi
O ke kani honi mai leo o ka manu

O ka pa konane a ka mahina
`Ike `ia a`o Ma`ili no e ka `oi

Me ke kai nehe mai i ka pue one
E hulali hele mai i ka `ae kai

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
O ka ipu kukui oma`oma`o
There in the calm of Ma`ili
Is the Green Lantern
I have heard in the evening
The sweet call of the birds' voices
 
On a bright moonlight night
I saw Ma`ili, the best
 
As the tide rolls in, the waves swell
It glistens and shimmers on the shore
 
Tell the refrain
Of the Green Lantern
