  He mele kēia ‘āina ‘o Lāna‘i
  Ka huina li‘ili‘i o nā mokupuni
  Li‘ili‘i ka mana‘o me ka ‘ōlelo
  Mea nui o nā moku ‘āina

  Kona pua pono‘ī ke kauna‘oa
  Ua ‘oi kona u‘i mua ka lehua
  Ka waiho‘olu‘u like me ke kula
  Pili me kukuna o ka lā

  Ka mea nui o kēia ‘ailana
  Ka halakahiki e ho‘owaiwai
  E ho‘okaulana ‘oe i kou inoa
  ‘Imi ola no ka lehulehu

  Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
  Pumehana kou inoa a‘o Lāna‘i
  Li‘ili‘i ‘oe ke aloha nui
  He mana‘o poina ‘ole
