Hilo ē, Pele ē
Aliʻipoe ē, ka lehua eā eā
Maui ē, nui a Kama
Ka roselani onaona, eā eā
Molokaʻi ē. nui a Hina
Ka ulu kukui o Lanikaula, eā eā
Oʻahu ē, Kaimana Hila
Waikīkī heʻe e ka nalu, eā eā
Kauaʻi ē, Waiʻaleʻale
Ka mokihana o makana, eā eā
Lahaina ē, home nani
I ka malu ulu Ao Lele, eā eā
Haʻina ē mai ka puana,
O Maui no e ka ʻoe, eā eā

Hilo is the place, the place of Pele
Chief surrounded by lehua blossoms
Maui is the place, the place of the great Kama
The fragrant rose
Molokaʻi is the place, the place of great Hina
The kukui grove of Lanikaula
Oʻahu is the place, Diamond Head
Waikīkī where surfing is done
Kauaʻi is the place, Waiʻaleʻale
Mokihana its gift
Lahaina is the place, a beautiful home
In the protection of the grove at Ao Lele
This is the refrain of the song
Maui indeed, is the best
