| Ua nani Moloka`i Nui A Hina `O ka heke no ia a`o na ailana Uluwehiwehi a`o Lanikaula Ka ulu kukui e kaulana nei He wai `au`au a`o Moa`ula, E ho`opulu i ka `ili o ka malihini. Ho`ale`ale i ka `ehu o ke kai I ke ku kilakila a`o Ha`upu Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana Sweet lei kukui ka heke o Moloka`i | Beautiful is Moloka`i Nui A
Hina, It is indeed, the best of the islands Verdant is Lanikaula, The famous grove of kukui trees The bathing waters of Moa`ula, That dampens the skin of the newcomer Making waves in the spray of the sea As Ha`upu stands majestically Told is the refrain The sweet kukui lei is the best of Moloka`i |
