Kaulana Waialua A`o Moloka`i
words by Amy Hânaiali`i Gilliom, music by Willie `Awihilima Kahaiali`i

 

Kaulana Waialua a`o Moloka`i
Nui-a-hina akua o ku`u `âina aloha
 
 
Ku`u pu`uwai a me ke aloha
Ha`o `ia no ku`u `âina o Waialua
 
 
Nui ia nâ kumu lâ`au kukui
Ki`eki`e me nâ lei `ohu nui a-Hina
 
 
Ha`ina mai ana ka puana
Nui-a-Hina, akua o ku`u `âina aloha
Famous is Waialua of Moloka`i
Great child of Hina, goddess of my beloved land
 
 
My heart and my love
Yearns for my land of Waialua
 
 
Vast are the kukui forests
Majestic with the great misty leis of Hina
 
 
Let the story be told of the
Great child of Hina, goddess of my beloved land
