Ke`anae, on the shores of Maui isle
There's a place called Ke`anae
Where I stayed for awhile
In the old Hawaiian style
In the quietness, the peacefulness of Ke`anae


From the mountain to the sea
Blooms a lovely awapuhi
Pampered by the falling rain
You can hear the sweet refrain
In the quietness, the peacefulness of Ke`anae


This is the land where taro grows
Like the days of long ago
All the kupa `âina know
Like the riches of our sea
In the quietness, the peacefulness of Ke`anae


So before my mele ends
Let me add another line
To the folks in Ke`anae
Keep up your sweet Hawaiian style
In the quietness, the peacefulness of Ke`anae
