Kaulana 'o Keaukaha
Famous (is) Keaukaha
(E hana hou I ka paukы mua loa)
(Repeat first verse)
Kaleohano, 'o Kaleohano kou inoa

Aloha au Iв Mauna Kea, I ke anu o ke ahiahi
Love I Mauna Kea (meaning, White Mountain, referring to mountain on the island of Hawai'i), in the cold of the evening.
Ho'olono, ho'olono, ho'olono I ka leo ka makani
Listen, listen, listen to the voice of the wind
Keaukaha nф e ka wahi.
Keaukaha indeed, the place.
(E hana hou I ka paukы hope)
