'Ike au i ka nani o Waimea e I see the beauty of Waimea
Kipu'upu'u nani makani pahili beautiful kipu'upu'u, strong cyclonic winds
ke anu ha'ukeke e and the shivering cold
I ka poli o ka ua e honihoni ana e In the heart of the kissing rain
kakahiaka he moani ke'ala a wafting fragrant breeze in the morning
ke awapuhi ho'i e it is the awapuhi
Ua uhi pa'a 'oe me kapohina e You are firmly covered by the mist
Ke kuahiwi kaulana i ka luna the famous mountain high above
Kanehoa, milika'a e Kanehoa, repeatedly caressed
Aia i ka nani o Kamuela e There is the beauty of Kamuela
a ua kiss ka pua never-fading kissed by the flower
beauty e lei the never-fading beauty
ka lehau melemele the yellow lehua
Puana e ka wehi Told is the story
o ka 'aina e of the adornment of the land
ka home nani wale i kakahiaka the home so beautiful in the morning
ke anu o Waimea e and the cold of Waimea
Waimea, he nani nani wale e Waimea, just a beauty
