Sweet Lei Mokihana - by George Huddy 

Sweet lei mokihana
Auhea ʻoe
Kuʻu lei nani ʻoe
Poina ʻole

Ka ehu o ke kai
Aʻo Hāʻena
Lauaʻe o Makana
O Nāmolokama

Hoʻohihi ka manaʻo
Ia Hanalei
Hanohano no ʻoe
He nani maoli no

Haʻina ʻia mai
Ana ka puana
Sweet lei mokihana
Poina ʻole  
Sweet lei mokihana
Pay attention
My beautiful lei
You are unforgettable 
 
The sea spray
Of Hāʻena
The sweet lauae fern of Makana
Of Nāmolokama 
 
Enraptured with the thoughts
Of Hanalei
You are distinguished
With true beauty 
 
Tell the
Refrain of
Sweet lei mokihana
Unforgettable
