Kaulana ka inoa o Kapi`olani paka Ia wahi ho`oluana a ka lehulehu Ho`oheno pu me Makee `Ailana Me ka pua lilia lana i ka wai O ke ani peahi lau o ka niu Ho`oipoipo ana me ka ehu kai Aloha ke kai malino a`o Waikîkî Kai ho`opulu `elo`elo i ka `ili He kahua haulani papa he`e nalu Hia`ai mui `ia e nâ malihini |
Famous is the name of Kapio`lani Park The place enjoyed by many Cherished together with Makee’s Island And the water lilies floating on the water Coco fronds waving like fans Romancing the sea spray Welcomed is the calm sea of Waikîkî Sea that drenches the skin Shifting on a surfboard Pleasing the tourists |
