He nani no ʻoe ia Ninini
He beauty maoli nō
Kuahiwi nani ʻoe aʻo Haʻupu
Ka pua mokihana, ʻeā
Ka pua nani o Kauaʻi
Hoʻohihi ka manaʻo aʻo Kauaʻi
E ō mai ko leo aloha
Ke kani aʻo Piʻilani
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kaulana mai nei Nāwiliwili
He nani maoli nō
George Manoa Huddy II
You are lovely, because of Ninini
Very beautiful, indeed
You are a beautiful mountain, Haʻupu
With the mokihana berry
The lovely flower of Kauaʻi
I cherish my thoughts of Kauaʻi
Your beloved voice answers
The call of Piʻilani
Tell the refrain
Famous is Nāwiliwili
Very beautiful, indeed
