| He mele keʻia no Hilo Ka nani o ka ʻāina Ke kaiku ʻono halaʻi ʻĀina i ka ʻehu o ke kai Makemake wale ka ʻikena Ka nani o Mauna Kea E hoʻopulu ʻia nei Ka ua kilihune Puana ʻia me ke aloha I ka nani aʻo Hilo Ke kaiku ʻono halaʻi ʻĀina i ka ehu o ke kai |
This song is for Hilo A land of much beauty The bay resting in the calm, Land freshened by the sea spray. It is a delight to see The beauty of Mauna Kea Freshened by The light rain Thus ends my song with affection For the beauty of Hilo The bay resting in the calm, Land freshened by the sea spray |
