- Kaulana ka inoa ʻo Kauaʻi
- Kuʻu lei mokihana poina ʻole
- Kū kilakila ʻoe Waiʻaleʻale
- Kaulana ʻo Näwiliwili
Lauaʻe o Makana kaʻu aloha
- Me ka uapo nani aʻo Niumalu
- Piʻina ikiʻiki aʻo Kīpū
- Me ka wai ʻānapanapa
I aloha ʻia nō ʻo Waimea
- Me ke one kani mai aʻo Nohili
- Pūʻili ko aloha me kuʻu poli
- Hone ko leo me he ipo
Hea aku nō wau e ō mai ʻoe
- Lei ana Kauaʻi i ka mokihana
- Haʻina kou inoa o kuʻu ʻāina
- He uʻi e kaulana nei
| Famous is the name of
Kauaʻi
My unforgettable mokihana
lei
With her majestic mountain
Waiʻaleʻale
Of famous Nawiliwili
I love the fern of
Makana
And the wharf of Niumalu
Journeying to Kīpū
With its waterfall
My love for Waimea
With the barking sands of
Nohili
Near my bosom I hold dear
The sweet sound of ipo
ala
I call out to you, oh, answer me
Kauaʻi, with your leis of
mokihana
This is to honor the name of my
land
So beautiful and famous
