Aloha ke alanui hele lā aʻo Nuʻuanu
Kau pono i ka ʻohu lā i mua ou

He nani ia uka lā aʻo Moelana
Me ka wailele hune lā i nā pali

Ke ʻala o ka ʻawapuhi lā kaʻu i honi
Ka moani ʻana mai lā me he ipo ala

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Aloha ke alanui hele lā aʻo Nuʻuanu




Beloved is the road of Nuʻuanu
There in the mist ahead of you

The peaceful upland is beautiful
With the waterfall among the cliffs

The sweet scent of ginger
Wind blown like the essence of a lover

Tell the story
Beloved is the road of Nuʻuanu
