- Ua nani Moloka`i Nui A Hina,
- `O ka heke no ia a`o na ailana.
-
-
- Uluwehiwehi a`o Lanikaula,
- Ka ulu kukui e kaulana nei.
-
-
- He wai `au`au a`o Moa`ula,
- E ho`opulu i ka `ili o ka malihini.
-
-
- Ho`ale`ale i ka `ehu o ke kai,
- I ke ku kilakila a`o Ha`upu.
-
-
- Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana,
- Sweet lei kukui ka heke o Moloka`i

- Beautiful is Moloka`i Nui A
Hina,
- It is indeed, the best of the
islands.
-
-
- Verdant is Lanikaula,
- The famous grove of kukui
trees.
-
-
- The bathing waters of
Moa`ula,
- That dampens the skin of the
newcomer.
-
-
- Making waves in the spray of
the sea,
- As Ha`upu stands
majestically.
-
-
- Told is the refrain,
- The sweet kukui lei is the best
of Moloka`i.
