Kaua`i Hula - Words by Mary Robins & Music by Johnny Noble


Kaulana ka inoa a`o Kaua`i
Ku`u lei mokihana poina `ole


Kû kilakila `oe Wai`ale`ale
Me ka nani kaulana o Nawiliwili


Laua`e o Makana kau aloha
Me ka uapo nani a`o Niumalu


He pi`ina ikiiki a`o Kîpû
Me ka wai anapanapana e kaulana nei


I aloha ia no a`o Waimea
Me ke one kani mai a`o Nohili


Pû`ili ko aloha ma ku`u poli
Honehone ko leo mehe ipo ala


Heaku no wau eô mai `oe
Lei ana Kaua`i i ka mokihana


Famous is the name of Kaua`i
My unforgettable garland of mokihana


Wai`ale`ale, you stand strong
With the famous beauty of Nâwiliwili


Laua`e of Makana placed with love
The pretty quay of Niumalu


Weary on the ascent to Kîpû
We anticipate the famous sparkling water


Love for Waimea
With the sounding sands of Nohili


Love is held in my bosom
Gentle voice of my sweetheart arouses


When I call, you answer
Mokihana garland of Kaua`i
