Honomuni (Molokaʻi Jeep Ride) - by John Piʻilani Watkins

Kāua i ka holoholo kaʻa
Mea ʻole ka piʻina me ka jeep ride
Aia i ka nani aʻo Honomuni, ʻeā
Home hoʻokipa malihini

Kaulana wale ʻoe e Molokaʻi
Pumehana ke aloha na ka malihini
ʻIke ʻia i ka nani o Kalaupapa ʻeā
Lei ana i ka kukui

Molokaʻi nui a Hina
Me nā kini makamaka o ka ʻāina
Hoʻohaehae hoʻopoina ʻeā
I leo pule nō ʻo Piʻilani

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Pumehana ke aloha na ka malihini
ʻIke ʻia i ka nani o Kalaupapa ʻeā
Lei ana i ka kukui
Let's you and I go for a car ride
The climb is nothing with a jeep
There is the beauty of Honomuni
The home hospitable to visitors
 
Famous are you, Molokaʻi showing
Affection for visitors
The beauty of Kalaupapa is seen
Wreathed in kukui
 
Great Molokaʻi of Hina
With countless close friends of the land
Exasperations are soon forgotten
In the spoken prayer by Piʻilani
 
The story is told
Warm affection for the visitor
The beauty of Kalaupapa can be seen
Wreathed in kukui
