Lei Kô`ele - Dennis Kahekilimamaoikalanikeha Kamakahi
 Kô`ele i ka la`i o ka ua li`ili`i
Ua `ike maka au i kou nani
`O kou mau maka onaona i ka uka `iu`iu
`O kou leo i ka makani a ke aloha

Hui:
Lei kauna`oa o Lâna`i
I ka wehi o ka `âina nei
Hanohano wale no `oe
Lei ana i ka ua noe
Lei Kô`ele i ka ua
Hoapili o Maunalei
Huapala o Keômuku
Ke aloha o Koloiki

Aloha ku`u home `o Lâna`i ki`eki`e
`Olu`olu wale nô ka wai o ke ola
`Ike au i ka nani o ke Akua mana loa
Noho ana i ka poli o nâ `ôiwi

Kô`ele in the calm of the drizzling rain
I have seen your beauty
Your gentle eyes in the far uplands
Your voice in the wind of love

Chorus:
Kauna`oa lei of Lâna`i
In the adornment of the land here
How glorious you are
Wearing the misty rain
Kô`ele wears the rain
Companion of Maunalei
Sweetheart of Keômuku
The love of Koloiki

Beloved is my home of lofty Lâna`i
So comforting is the water of life
I see the glory of the all powerful God
Dwelling in the heart of the native sons

Source: Kô`ele and Keômuku are in central Lâna`i. Koloiki ridge and Maunalei (lei mountain) are both located in northeast Lâna`i. Clouds encirling the peak of Maunalei may have resembled a lei around the mountain.
