He keonimana hoʻi nei no Hawaiʻi Ua ʻike i ka lula a me ka loina Ke kūnou mai hoʻi me ka wehe pāpale O ka hana ana ia a nei Hawaiʻi Hui: ʻO ʻoe a ʻowau i ka wili ʻākau A wili i ka hema ʻO ʻoe a ʻowau kai wili A wili pū iho Māua pū no i ka pō mahina E kilohi ʻana hoʻi i nā hoku o ka lewa Pā mai ka makani aheahe ʻoluʻolu He keonimana ia no kuʻu ʻāina |
A gentleman of Hawaiʻi Knows the rules and manners He bows and tips his hat That’s what he does in Hawaiʻi Chorus: You and I whirl to the right And whirl to the left You and I whirl And whirl together We both in the moonlight Glance at the stars in the sky The wind blows soft and refreshing He is a gentleman of my land |
