Mahalo aʻe ana au I ka nani aʻo Hanauma Ke kai kūʻono hālaʻi Pōʻai ʻia e nā pali Ua makemake nui ʻia Ke alanui kīkeʻekeʻe E iho aku ai i lalo I ke kaha one ākea He kahua na ka lehulehu E luana hauʻoli ai E hoʻolono like aʻe ana I ka leo hone o ke kai ʻOluʻolu i ka peʻahi A ka makani aheahe E hoʻoluli mālie nei I nā lau aʻo ke kiawe Haʻina mai ka puana No ka nani aʻo Hanauma Ke kai kūʻono hālaʻi Pōʻai ʻia e nā pali
| I am admiring The beauty of Hanauma A restful bay Surrounded by cliffs Much do I enjoy The winding road That leads downward (to) The wide and sandy beach A place for the public To relax happily To listen together To the pleasant sounds of the sea Cooled by the fanning Of a gentle breeze That set in motion The kiawe leaves This ends my song (of praise) For the beauty of Hanauma A restful bay Surrounded by cliffs
