Puna Kuʻu Aloha (Puna, My Love) - by Katherine Maunakea 

 

ʻElua māua e Puna ē
Ua ʻike ia kou nani ēhē
Ka ʻāina no ia no kuʻu aloha
No kuʻu aloha

Ua hui māua me na ʻohana ē
Ua piha hauʻoli ēhē
Me ke aloha poina ʻole
Ke aloha poina ʻole

He nani o Mauna Kea ē
Ame ka pua lehua ēhē
Hanohano o Hawaiʻi
Hanohano Hawaiʻi

Puana ka inoa e Puna ē
Ua ʻike ʻia kou nani ēhē
Ka ʻāina no ia no kuʻu aloha
No kuʻu aloha

Haʻina ʻia mai he ʻāina ē
Ua nani kaulana
Me ke aloha poina ʻole
Ke aloha poina ʻole

Two of us at Puna
Saw your beauty
It is the land of my love
My love
  
We joined the family
It was filled with happiness
And unforgettable love
Unforgettable love
  
Beautiful is Mauna Kea
And the lehua flower
Glory of Hawai`i 
Glory of Hawai`i
 
The theme, the name, Puna
Seen is your beauty
It is the land of my love
My love

Tell the theme of the land
Famous beauty
And unforgettable love
Unforgettable love
