      Translation:
   
      Here is the song for the chiefs of Hana

      Proud is Hana
      Yes, I (Hana) am here

      With (my) hill small-breast
      (Yours) indeed

      My lei (is the ) Lokelani
      A fragrant flower

      A (my) chief
      Yes, I am here

      Ka'ahumanu (belonging to ) Kamehameha
      All nonour the name of Ka'ahumanu (of) Kamehameha)

      In the name (honour) of Hana
