- Kuʻu home nani aʻo Hawaiʻi
- Ua wehi i ka pua aʻo ka lehua
O ka lei kaulana aʻo Hilo one
- Me ka uapo nani o Kūhiō bay
Hoʻi aʻe ke aloha ai Mokuola
- Me ka Waiānuenue kaulana nei
Alawa iho ʻoe o Waiolama
- Lamalama kau oho na ka wahine uʻi
O Puna kapaia ala i ka hala
- Eia ka maile lau liʻiliʻi
Hoʻoipo ana paha hoi ʻoe
- Ma ka liko pau a o ka lehua
He aku no wau e ō mai ʻoe
- He wehi i ka pua aʻo ka lehua

My beautiful home of Hawaiʻi
Adorned with blossoms of the lehua
Famous wreath of Hilo
The splendid bridge of Kūhiō bay
Nearby the venerated island of Mokuola
This is the famousWaiānuenue
Glancing below, you'll see Waiolama
The pretty, vivacious woman with upswept hairdo
Puna bower fragrant with hala
Here is the small leaf maile
Perhaps you'll come to make love
The bud of the lehua will bloom
When I call, you answer
Adorned with blossoms of the lehua |
