From deep within our hearts

He aloha nui na kupuna

For this, our land

Ka aina aloha pau’ole
The land of neverending love

Wala’au ana na opio

Ka aina aloha ahe malama
To love and take care of this land

No ka mea ho’okahi
For it is of greatness, #1

Meke aloha poina ‘ole
Truly with unforgotten love
