Momi O Ka Pakipika (Pearl of the Pacific) - Words & music by Charles E. King


Ku`u Hawai`i home aloha na`u
Nani lua `ole Hawai`i,
Ku`u Hawai`i
A`o `oe no ka momi o ka Pakipika
Ha`aheo ho`i au iâ `oe e ku`u Hawai`i

My Hawai`i, my beloved home
Incomparable in beauty is Hawai`i,
My Hawai`i
You are the pearl of the Pacific
And I am proud of you, my Hawai`i
