Nani Niʻihau - Emily Wailiula

He nani Niʻihau i ka lā welo
Me na uʻi like ʻole o Kahelelani

Lei ʻoe lei kāua
E kuʻu lei pūpū

He uʻi a he nani mae ʻole kou
Ku`u pua lei nani momi a`o kai

Lei ʻoe lei kāua
E kuʻu lei pūpū

Haʻina kou inoa nani Niʻihau
Me na uʻi like ʻole o Kahelelani

 Niʻihau is beautiful in the setting sun
With the varied beauty of Kahelelani

We are adorned with your lei
My beloved shell lei

You are beautiful, a never fading beauty
My beautiful flower lei, pearl of the sea

We are adorned with your lei
My beloved shell lei

So let your beautiful name be told, Niʻihau
With the varied beauty of Kahelelani
