Kauaʻi Beauty - by Henry Waiau
Hanohano Kauaʻi Manokalanipō
Kihāpai pua ua kaulana
 
ʻOhuʻohu i ka maile aʻo ka nahele
I ke ʻala onaona o ka mokihana
  
I wili ʻia me ka maile lau liʻiliʻi
Ke ʻala hoʻoheno o ka malihini
 
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kuʻu lei mokihana e moani nei
  
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kuʻu lei mokihana poina `ole		 Glorious is Kauaʻi of Manokalanipō
A famous flower garden

Adorned with maile of the forest
And the sweet fragrance of mokihana

Entwined with small leafed maile
A fragrance cherished by visitors

Tell the refrain
My mokihana lei whose fragrance is wind-borne

Tell the refrain
My unforgettable mokihana lei
