- Ku`u home nani a`o Hawai`i
- Ua wehi i ka pua a`o ka lehua
O ka lei kaulana a`o Hilo one
- Me ka uapo nani o Kûhiô bay
Ho`i a`e ke aloha ai Mokuola
- Me ka Waiânuenue kaulana nei
Alawa iho `oe o Waiolama
- Lamalama kau oho na ka wahine u`i
O Puna kapaia ala i ka hala
- Eia ka maile lau li`ili`i
Ho`oipo ana paha hoi `oe
- Ma ka liko pau a o ka lehua
He aku no wau e ô mai `oe
- He wehi i ka pua a`o ka lehua

My beautiful home of Hawai`i
Adorned with blossoms of the lehua
Famous wreath of Hilo
The splendid bridge of Kûhiô bay
Nearby the venerated island of Mokuola
This is the famousWaiânuenue
Glancing below, you'll see Waiolama
The pretty, vivacious woman with upswept hairdo
Puna bower fragrant with hala
Here is the small leaf maile
Perhaps you'll come to make love
The bud of the lehua will bloom
When I call, you answer
Adorned with blossoms of the lehua |
