Keonimana - Alice Namakelua
He keonimana ho`i nei no Hawai`i
Ua `ike i ka lula a me ka loina
Ke kûnou mai ho`i me ka wehe pâpale
O ka hana ana ia a nei Hawai`i


Hui:
`O `oe a `owau i ka wili `âkau
A wili i ka hema
`O `oe a `owau kai wili
A wili pû iho


Mâua pû no i ka pô mahina
E kilohi `ana ho`i i nâ hoku o ka lewa
Pâ mai ka makani aheahe `olu`olu
He keonimana ia no ku`u `âina


 A gentleman of Hawai`i
Knows the rules and manners
He bows and tips his hat
That’s what he does in Hawai`i


Chorus:
You and I whirl to the right
And whirl to the left
You and I whirl
And whirl together


We both in the moonlight
Glance at the stars in the sky
The wind blows soft and refreshing
He is a gentleman of my land
