Kâua i ka nani a`o Moloka`i Ho`okipa malihini `Âina kû kilakila `Âina kû kilakila I ke ae ho`oheno o Kalaupapa I ka ua i na pali Ka ulu pua kukui Ka ulu pua kukui Home pumehana i ke aloha `Âina ho`opulapula Kalamaula Kalamaula Ha`ina mai ka puana nani Moloka`i E ku`u `âina hanau e Molokai nui a Hina Molokai nui a Hina |
You and I shall see the beauty of Moloka`i That welcomes the visitors You are the pride of all the land You are the pride of all the land The pleasent breeze of Kalaupapa The rain clouds by the cliff Grows the flower kukui Grows the flower kukui Lovely home that holds my admiration The homestead lands Kalamaula Kalamaula So ends my song, beautiful Molokai The land of my birth Great Moloka`i of Hina Great Moloka`i of Hina |
