E Hawai`i, e ku`u one hanau e O Hawaii, O sands of my birth
Ku`u home kulaiwi nei My native home
`Oli no au i na pono lani e I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha
Hui Chorus:
E hau`oli na `opio o Hawai`i nei Happy youth of Hawaii
`Oli e! `Oli e! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Mai na aheahe makani e pa mai nei Gentle breezes blow
Mau ke aloha, no Hawai`i Love always for Hawaii
E ha`i mai kou mau kini lani e May your divine throngs speak
Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawai`i Your loving people, O Hawaii
Na mea `olino kamaha`o no luna mai The holy light from above
E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha
Na ke Akua e malama mai ia `oe God protects you
Kou mau kualono aloha nei Your beloved ridges
Kou mau kahawai `olinolino mau Your ever glistening streams
Kou mau mala pua nani e Your beautiful flower gardens
