Ho`oheno hia`ai wale ka mana`o I ka nani uluwehi o Hawaiian Town I laila ka `i`ini me ke ohohia Ho`olau kanaka ia e ka nui manu E walea ana lâkou i ka olu I ka inu waipuna ho`ohauoli Hauoli ho`oipoipo ke aloha I ka lia uilani a ka pu`uwai Hea aku mâkou o mai `oe O Kuaihelani no he inoa Puana ka mele i lohe ia Hanohano, lanakila o Hawaiian town |
The heart is pleased, delighted With the beauty of Hawaiian Town Desire and enjoyment are found there When the surge of love is felt within To enjoy themselves in comfort To drink of the spring that gives joy Where joy is found with one's sweetheart When the surge of love is felt within We call to you, you answer us Answer to your name, O Kuaihelani This ends our song, may all hear Of the progress and prosperity of Hawaiian Town . |
