Ho`olono mai i ku`u leo ku`u kaumaha
Neia leo e hawanawana
Nei i ka lau o ka hau
Ho`olono mai i ku`u leo ku`u pule
E mau ke ea o ka `aina e Hawai`i
Kulu ka waimaka
Me he ua noe la o uka
Ke kili`ohu ua noe a`o Maunahele
`O makalapua ulumahiehie
Uluwehiwehi kapu no Li`a wahine
E lei h`oi e Lili`ulani e
E lei h`oi e Lili`ulani e
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ku`u pua mae`ole
I ka uluwehi a`o Maunahele
E haku `ia a pa`a pono ka lei
E mau ai ka mana`o e lana nei
E lei ho`i e Lili`ulani e
E lei h`oi e Lili`ulani e
My song whispers to you
Through the leaves of the hau tree
Listen to my voice my prayer
May the life of the land be preserved Hawai`i
Tears fall for you
Like the rain and showers
To mist the beautiful gardens at Maunahele
O the sweetest and most fragrant flower
Grows here in these gardens sacred to Li`a
Here is your lei o Lili`ulani
Here is your lei o Lili`ulani
Tell the story
Of a never fading flower
That grows at Maunahele
And with this flower I weave my lei of promise
And sing my song of everlasting hope
Here is your lei o Lili`ulani
Here is your lei o Lili`ulani
