| Ua nani Molokaʻi Nui A Hina ʻO ka heke no ia aʻo na ailana Uluwehiwehi aʻo Lanikāula Ka ulu kukui e kaulana nei He wai ʻauʻau a`o Moaʻula, E hoʻopulu i ka ʻili o ka malihini. Hoʻaleʻale i ka ʻehu o ke kai I ke kū kilakila aʻo Hāʻupu Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana Sweet lei kukui ka heke o Molokaʻi |
Beautiful is Molokaʻi Nui A
Hina, It is indeed, the best of the islands Verdant is Lanikāula, The famous grove of kukui trees The bathing waters of Moaʻula, That dampens the skin of the newcomer Making waves in the spray of the sea As Hāʻupu stands majestically Told is the refrain The sweet kukui lei is the best of Molokaʻi |
