Lanaʻi Hula - Words by Mary Robins music by John Noble 

Hanohano ka inoa aʻo Lanaʻi
Lei ana i ka pua o ka kaunaʻoa

ʻŌlelo kauoha na kuʻu aloha
Hina wau i ka hewa mamuli oʻu

Ua ola na kini o ka ʻāina
I ka hui hana hala aʻo ke kaona

Ke moani mai nei ʻala e ka hala
Ke hea mai nei iaʻu e kipa 

He aku no wau e ō mai ʻoe
Lei ana Lanaʻi i ka kaunaʻoa
Distinguished is the name of Lanaʻi
Wearing the kaunaʻoa flower lei
  
My beloved speaks a command
I fall in sin myself
  
The people of the land live
By the pineapple, the work of the town
  
The fragrance of the hala wafts hither
Calling me to visit
 
I call and you answer
Lanaʻi wears the kaunaʻoa lei
