Kaulana ka inoa aʻo Kauaʻi
Kuʻu lei mokihana poina ʻole

Kū kilakila ʻoe Waiʻaleʻale
Me ka nani kaulana o Nāwiliwili

Lauaʻe o Makana kau aloha
Me ka uapo nani aʻo Niumalu

He piʻina ikiʻiki aʻo Kīpū
Me ka wai ʻanapanapa e kaulana nei

I aloha ia no aʻo Waimea
Me ke one kani mai aʻo Nohili

Pūʻili ko aloha ma kuʻu poli
Honehone ko leo mehe ipo ala

He aku no wau e ō mai ʻoe
Lei ana Kauaʻi i ka mokihana

Famous is the name of Kauaʻi
My unforgettable garland of mokihana

Waiʻaleʻale, you stand strong
With the famous beauty of Nāwiliwili

Lauaʻe of Makana placed with love
The pretty quay of Niumalu

Weary on the ascent to Kīpū
We anticipate the famous sparkling water

Love for Waimea
With the sounding sands of Nohili

Love is held in my bosom
Gentle voice of my sweetheart arouses

When I call, you answer
Mokihana garland of Kauaʻi
