Oʻahu - Traditional

Mānoa he u`i nō i kaʻu ʻike
I ka pi`o mai a ke ānuenue
 
Waikīkī i ke kai mālamalama
He wai hoʻoheno a ka puʻuwai
 
Nuʻuanu i ka makani lawe mālie
I ke ʻala o nēia pua o ka ʻawapuhi
 
Makiki ka home o nā manu
He uʻi ke ea mai i ka lani
 
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Oʻahu ka ʻāina o ke aloha
 
Mānoa is indeed a beauty for my sight
At the arching of the rainbow
 
Waikîkî in the glimmering sea
Cherished waters of my heart
 
Nuʻuanu in the caressing wind
In the fragrance of this blossom of ginger
 
Makiki, the home of the birds
A beauty, a breath in the heavens, when they soar into the sky
 
Tell the refrain
Oʻahu, the land of love
