Kaulana ʻO Waimānalo (Famous Is Waimānalo) - by Sam Naeʻole
I ka pali o Makapuʻu
I ke kai hāwanawana
Hoʻopuni ʻia e nā pali
Hiehie a`o Mānana
Kūkilakila i ke kai
Pōʻai mau ʻia ana
E ke kai hānupanupa
ʻAlawa iho ʻoe
I nā papa heʻenalu
Hiehie ke kūlana
I ka heʻe mālie mai
ʻUi nā ʻāina home
Aʻo Waimānalo
Ua piha me ke aloha
A me ka nui hauʻoli
Haʻina mai ka puana
Kaulana ʻo Waimānalo
I ka pali o Makapuʻu
I ke kai hāwanawana
Sam Naeʻole
For the cliffs of Makapuʻu
For the whispering sea
Surrounded by cliffs
Outstanding is Mānana
Standing strong in the sea
Encircled always
By the surging sea
Look quickly
At the surfboards
Outstanding the stance
As they glide smoothly
Beautiful the yards and homes
Of Waimānalo
Full of love
And great happiness
The story is told
Famous is Waimānalo
For the cliffs of Makapuʻu
For the whispering sea
