Pākaikai - Traditional
Nani wale kuʻu ʻike ana
Hanohano wale kuʻu ʻike ana
I ka nani o ka ʻāina
I ka nani o ka ʻāina

Lupalupa i ke ʻala
O ka maile lau onaona
Lupalupa i ke ʻala
Me ke ʻala e i mai ana

E naue aku o Pākaikai
Wai anuhea o Pākaikai
Anuhea o Pākaikai

Hui:
ʻEleu kākou nā boy o ka ʻehukai
I hoʻokahi puʻuwai me ka lokahi
Naue mai e ʻike i ka nani
Kēia la nui hauʻoli e

This is wonderful to see
A gladsome sight to me
To see the beauty of the land
The beauty of the land

Imbued with fragrance
Of the sweet-leaved maile
Imbued with fragrance
The fragrance seems to be inviting us

To go and see Pākaikai
The refreshing atomsphere of Pākaikai
Refreshing atomsphere of Pākaikai

Chorus:
Let's be quick, o boys of the sea spray
Be on one heart and in unity
Come and see the beauty
On this happy holiday
