Ha`aheo `i`o nô e Ho`okipa Pâka
Kahi a ka lehulehu
E kipa a ho`onanea
Nanea mai ho`i kau

Nanea mai hoi kau ke noho `oe la
Malalo o ka lau o ka hau la
Kahi e malu a`e `oe
He malu `olu `ai `oe

He nani i`o no ke `ike aku la
I ka papa he`enalu
He`e ana i ka pue one
He one kaulana no

Pulu au i ka huna kai kai he`ehe`e i ka `ili
Ame ka ehu kai kilikilihune
A konikoni i ka `ili
Hu`i kona au ma`a`ele

E o i kou inoa Ho`okipa Paka
Kahi a ka lehulehu
E kipa a ho`onanea
Nanea mai ho`i kau


Proud of Welcome Park, over there
Place where the crowd
Is welcome to rest
Come, rest here for a while
 
Rest here a while, stay
Under the hau tree leaf
Where you have shade
Cool shade, you'll enjoy
 
It's splendid there to see
The surfboards
Surfing to the sandbar
It's a famous beach
 
I am damp with sea spray that drips on the skin
And the fine salt mist
Makes the skin tingle
I tingle chilly and numb
 
Answer to your name, Welcome Park
Place where the crowd
Is welcome to stay
Come, rest here for a while
