Nani Hawaii ka moku o Keawe
Lei haaheo i ka lehua a meka maile a o Panaewa
Kilakila o Maui la ia Haleakala
Ua kapu Roselani anou hookahi wale no
Kaulani Molokai i ka Ulukukui
O lanikaula a me kawailele a o Moaula
Ohuohy Oahu i ka ilima
He kohu manu oo hulu melemele o ke kuahiwi
Lei Kauai i ka mokihana
Lauae o Makana o ka'u aloha no ia
O niihau, Kahoolawe, Lanai
Hooheno me ka pupu, ka hinahina me ka kaunaoa
Haina ia mai ana ka puana
Na le o Hawaii, na lei o Hawaii, e o mai
Lovely is Hawaii, the island of keawe
Adorned with brilliant lehua and fragrant maile of Panaena
Grand is Maui with Haleakala
And 'tis for thee alone the beauteous rose will e'er be sacred
Oahu wears the ilima lei with pride and grace
In beauty she doth vie with yellow songsters of the mountain forests
Kauai's lei is the mokihana
Lauae of Makana has won the admiration of my heart
