Kaulana ka inoa o Kapiʻolani paka
Ia wahi hoʻoluana a ka lehulehu

Hoʻoheno pu me Makee ʻAilana
Me ka pua lilia lana i ka wai

O ke ani peahi lau o ka niu
Hoʻoipoipo ana me ka ehu kai

Aloha ke kai malino aʻo Waikīkī
Kai hoʻopulu ʻeloʻelo i ka ʻili

He kahua haulani papa heʻe nalu
Hiaʻai mui ʻia e nā malihini

Famous is the name of Kapiʻolani Park
The place enjoyed by many

Cherished together with Makee’s Island
And the water lilies floating on the water

Coco fronds waving like fans
Romancing the sea spray

Welcomed is the calm sea of Waikîkî
Sea that drenches the skin

Shifting on a surfboard
Pleasing the tourists
