E Hawai`i, e ku`u one hanau e             O Hawaii, O sands of my birth
Ku`u home kulaiwi nei                     My native home
`Oli no au i na pono lani e              I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
E Hawai`i, aloha e                        O Hawaii, aloha

Hui                                 Chorus:
E hau`oli na `opio o Hawai`i nei           Happy youth of Hawaii
`Oli e! `Oli e!                                Rejoice! Rejoice!
Mai na aheahe makani e pa mai nei             Gentle breezes blow
Mau ke aloha, no Hawai`i                      Love always for Hawaii

E ha`i mai kou mau kini lani e                 May your divine throngs speak
Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawai`i                 Your loving people, O Hawaii
Na mea `olino kamaha`o no luna mai             The holy light from above
E Hawai`i, aloha e                             O Hawaii, aloha

Na ke Akua e malama mai ia `oe         God protects you
Kou mau kualono aloha nei            Your beloved ridges
Kou mau kahawai `olinolino mau        Your ever glistening streams
Kou mau mala pua nani e                 Your beautiful flower gardens
