O Hawaiʻi, land of my birth You are filled with wondrous beauty With mountaintops and green slopes Gentle breezes and perfume of flowers Chorus: A pearl, a pearl of the sea, of the sea Is my beloved Hawaiʻi Land, land famed, famed Throughout the world, world There is no other to compare with thee Proud am I to sing of my Hawaiʻi, enchanting Hawaiʻi |
