Home uluwehiwehi i ka ulu hala

Well known in the beauty of Keaukaha
Is the homestead land for the Hawaiians
Verdant home in the hala groves
Admirable in th eyes of the people
Chorus:
This is a gift from the Chief
For you, the many descendants, the Hawaiians
Take good care, this is a great treasure
It is life, a place of refuge
Thanks goes to you, Chief
Kalaniana`ole indeed, is your name
Let us all work together with love
So that the life of the land will be
perpetuated in righteousness
