Kaulana `oe Nene`u kou inoa 
I ka ne`e a ke kai i ka pu`e one 
  
  
He nani Ka`ala kau mai i luna 
Kuahiwi kaulana ku kilakila 
  
  
`O `oe Wai`anae noho i ka la`i 
Me na kini lehulehu e po`ai ana 
  
  
`O ka pa kolonahe a ke Kaiaulu 
Halihali mai ana ke `ala lipoa 
  
  
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana 
Kaulana `oe Nene`u i kou inoa 

Famous are you, Nene`u for your name 
For the moving of the sea on the sand bar 
  
  
Beautiful is Ka`ala that rises above 
                                     
Famous mountain that stands majestic 
  
  
You, Wai`anae, live in peace 
With the multitude surrounding 
  
  
The gentle blowing of the Kaiaulu wind 
Is carrying the fragrance of lipoa 
  
  
The story is told 
Famous are you, Nene`u, for your name
