Nani Hanalei (Beautiful Hanalei) - Kai Davis

ʻO Hanalei e kuʻu aloha
Ka nani aʻo Hanalei
Hoʻohihi ana ʻoe i kuʻu aloha lā
E, e, e
Hanalei no e ka ʻoi

Hoʻohihi hoʻi koʻu manaʻo
Ka nani aʻo Hanalei
E pakika e paheʻe
E, e, e,
Ka limu o Manuʻakepa

Hanohano Hanalei
I ka ua nui ʻana la
A me ka wailele aʻo Molokama
E, e, e
Ka makani ʻApaʻapaʻa

Haʻina mai ka puana
Ka nani aʻo Hanalei
Hoʻohihi ana ʻoe i kuʻu aloha lā
E, e, e
Hanalei no e ka ʻoi
Hanalei is my beloved
The beauty of Hanalei
How I admire the love you give
E, e, e
Hanalei is the best
 
My mind is atttracted
To the beauty of Hanalei
And the smooth, slippery
E, e, e
Seaweed of Manu`akepa
 
Honored is Hanalei
For her heavy rain
And the waterfall of Molokama
E, e, e
And the ʻApaʻapaʻa wind
 
The story is told
Of the beauty of Hanalei
How I admire the love you give
E, e, e
Hanalei is the best
