Kupa Landing (Cooper Landing) - by Lot Kauwe 

Hoʻokena i ka laʻi
Honomū aʻo nā manu
ʻIke ia i ka lihi aliʻa ʻoe pūlale mai
 
ʻO Kupa Landing
Hanohano i ka maka
Hoʻolu ʻia nō Hoʻokena
Hoʻoheno ana i ka manaʻo
Nā kupa o ka ʻāina
Hoʻolu i ka maka o ka malihini
 
Kani nei, kani nei, kani nei
Aʻo nā manu
U la laē, u la laē u

Hone nei, hone nei, hone nei
I Hoʻokena
I ke kulukulu aumoe

Hoʻokena in the calm
Honomū of the birds
See a little bit and you long to rush there
 
Cooper Landing
Glorious to see
Truly pleasant is Hoʻokena
Cherished in the thoughts of the
Residents of the land
Pleasant in the sight of the visitor
 
Sing, sing, sing
The birds
(Yodel)

Singing sweetly
At Hoʻokena
In the midnight hours
