Hilo Hanakahi
I ka ua Kanilehua
Puna paia `ala
I ka paia `ala i ka hala
Ka`û i ka makani
I ka makani puwehuwehu
Kona i ke kai
I ke kai mâ`oki`oki
Kawaihae i ke kai
I ke kai hâwanawana
Kohala i ka makani
I ka makani `Âpa`apa`a
Waimea i ka ua
I ka ua Kîpu`upu`u
Hâmâkua i ka pali
I ka pali l koa`e
Ha`ina ka puana
I ka ua kani lehua
Hilo of Hanakahi
Where the rain is in the lehua forest
Puna of the fragrant bowers
Fragrant with the blossoms of the hala
Ka`û a windy district
Wind that scatters the dust
Kona, land of calm seas
Sea marked with sea lanes
Kawaihae has a sea
A sea that whispers
Kohala has a wind
A gusty wind
Waimea has the rain
A cold pelting rain
Hâmâkua cliffs
Cliffs where the bird soars
This is the end of my song
Of the rain in the lehua forest
