- Beautiful Hawai`i, island of
Keawe
- Proud of its garland of lehua
- And the maile of Pana`ewa
- Grand is Maui with Haleakalâ
- The sacred rose
- Is for you alone
- O`ahu wears the `ilima lei with pride
- As beautiful as the manu ô`ô
- The yellow bird of the mountains
- Kaua`i's garland is the mokihana
- Laua`e of Makana
- The admiration of my heart
- Famous is Moloka`i preserved by the kuku`i
Of Lanikaula- And the waterfall of Moa`ula
- Ni`ihau, Kaho`olawe and Lâna`i
- Cherish their garlands of pûpû shells
- The hinahina and kauna`oa
- Tell the refrain of
- Leis of Hawai`i
- Leis of Hawai`i, respond
- Proud of its garland of lehua
