Renowed land of Hilo Hanakahi I cherish Hilo and the lehua blossoms Hilo is beautiful With the famous water of Wailoa Glorious is the fragrance high above The cloud that rests on the highest point Beloved is the water of Waiānuenue That place is caressed with my love Turn and look to Mokuola The rustling of the sea on the pebbles Let it be told I cherish Hilo and the lehua blossoms |
