'Âina kaulana a o Hilo HanakahiHo'oheno ana au me ka lehua
Hilo i ka nani a o Hilo neiMe ka wai kaulana a o Wailoa
Hanohano he ala i kau mai la i lunaKa 'ôpua noho mai i ka wêkiu
Aloha kahi wai a o WaianuenueIa mai lomilomi me ku'u aloha
Huli aku nânâ iâ MokuolaI ka nehe a ke kai, i ka iliili
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puanaHo'oheno ana au me ka lehua
Renowned land of Hilo HanakahiI cherish Hilo and the lehua blossoms
Hilo is beautifulWith the famous water of Wailoa
Glorious is the fragrance high aboveThe cloud that rests on the highest point
Beloved is the water of WaianuenueThat place is caressed with my love
Turn and look to MokuolaThe rustling of the sea on the pebbles
Let it be toldI cherish Hilo and the lehua blossoms.
