| Famous is the name of
Kauai
My unforgettable mokihana
lei
With her majestic mountain
Wai`ale`ale
Of famous Nawiliwili
I love the fern of
Makana
And the wharf of Niumalu
Journeying to Kipu`u
With its waterfall
My love for Waimea
With the barking sands of
Nohili
Near my bosom I hold dear
The sweet sound of ipo
ala
I call out to you, oh, answer me
Kauai`, with your leis of
mokihana
This is to honor the name of my
land
So beautiful and famous
