He Nani No Kalaupapa - Phillip Solatario

He nani no Kalaupapa
E haʻaheo nei
Me ka lei kukui
Ka wehi o Lanikāula

I kēia i ka nani
O ka lani huli
I mili ia e ka ua noe
Kalaupapa ka heke no ia

Kaulana aʻo Kalaupapa
Pu ana kou inoa
Ua lohe ia
Koʻu ʻāina aloha

Haʻina ʻia mai
Ana ka puana
O Kalaupapa
ʻĀina aloha
Beautiful is Kalaupapa
Cherishing with pride
The lei of kukui blossoms
The adornment of Lanikāula

See the beauty
Of the changing sky
Caressed by the misty rain
Kalaupapa is a choice land

Famous is Kalaupapa
Your name is praised
One hears about
My land of aloha

The story
Is told
Of Kalaupapa
Land of love.
