Ke oli nei me ke aloha, `eâ, e`â
O nâ mele nani like `ole, `eâ, e`â
Ha`aheo nâ kane `ôiwi Hawai`i, `eâ, e`â
O neia `âina kaulana, `eâ, e`â


`Oli`oli no ke lohe aku, `eâ, e`â
I nâ leokû ho`ohenoheno, `eâ, e`â
Hau`oli mau ka pu`uwai, `eâ, e`â
Me nâ mino`aka pumehana, `eâ, e`â


Ho`okahi no e alaka`i, `eâ, e`â
E kau nei i ka la`i, `eâ, e`â
Leo nahenahe o nâ kane, `eâ, e`â

Puana `ia me ke aloha, `eâ, e`â
O nâ mele nani like `ole, `eâ, e`â
Ha`aheo nâ kane `ôiwi Hawai`i, `eâ, e`â
O neia `âina kaulana, `eâ, e`â

 Singing with love
Of the different beautiful songs
Proud of the native sons of Hawai`i
Of this famous land


It`s a joy to listen
To the affectionate songs
Hearts always happy
And the smiles warm


There`s only one to lead
Who appears contented
Sweet male voices
Blend with their companions


Told with love
Of the different beautiful songs
Proud of the native sons of Hawai`i
Of this famous land
