Nâ Pua Like `Ole O Ka `Âina - John K. Almeida
Ho`oheno nei no
Nâ pua like `ole haku `ia
I ke onaona he mau i ka ihu
O ka malihini lei onaona

Nâ kuahiwi ani
Nâ kualono nâ kahawai `olino
Nâ pua nani o ku`u `âina aloha

E ô e Hawai`i
I kou inoa `âina ho`okipa
I ke aloha aloha no

 So very cherished
Incomparable flowers
Entwined with gentle fragrance
Fragrant wreath of the visitor

The mountains beckon
The ridges and streams shimmer
Beautiful flowers of my beloved land

I call Hawai`i, answer to
Your name of this hospitable land
Beloved, beloved indeed
