I aloha ia nö `o Kanaio
Aloha ku`u one hänau

Aloha wau iä `oe

Lei Pimoe i ka `ehukai
E Kanaio puna i ke kai
Onaona no kou`ala
Aloha wau iä `oe

U`i maoli këia `äina
He aloha noue Kanaio
I ku`u mana`o iä `oe
Aloha wau iä `oe

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Aloha ku`u one hänau
`Olu`olu i ke ahe a ka makani
Aloha wau iä `oe  Beloved is Kanaio 
Love for my birthplace 
Cool and fresh in the breeze 
I love you

Pimoe wears a wreath of sea spray 
Springs of Kanaio by the sea 
Sweet, your fragrance 
I love you

Freshly beautiful, this land 
Is love for you Kanio 
In my thoughts of you 
I love you

The story is told 
Love for my birthplace 
Cool and fresh in the breeze 
I love you
