Ka Wehi O Na Mokupuni - Abbie Palea

 
He nani no Hawai`i
E ha`aheo nei
Meka lei ka lehua
Ka wehi o Mauna Kea

He nani no Maui
No e ka `oi
Me ka lei roselani
Ka wehi o Haleakalâ

He nani no O`ahu
I ka uluwehi
Me ka lei ka `ilima
Ka wehi o Ka`ala

He nani no Kaua`i
E kaulana nei
Me ka lei mokihana
Ke wehi o Wai`ale`ale

Ha`ina `ia mai
Ana ka puana
Ka wehi o nâ mokupuni
O ka Pakipika
Beautiful is Hawai`i
Cherishing with pride
The lei of lehua blossoms
The adornment of Mauna Kea

Beautiful is Maui
Indeed the best
With the rose lei
The adornment of Haleakala

Beautiful is O`ahu
Where lovely plants thrive
With the lei of `ilima blossoms
The adornment of Ka`ala

Beautiful is Kaua`i
Famous
For the lei of mokihana berries
The adorment of Wai`ale`ale

Told
Is the story of
The adornment of the islands
Of the Pacific
