English Translation


I love my island of Kahoʻolawe
Your original name was Kanaloa
You are the southern beacon
Barren and without a population
Until you were invaded by nine young men
Who granted you peace

Let us band together the Hawaiian Kingdom
From sun up to sun down
Stand together and follow, be strong young people
We are but a few in numbers
But our love for the land is unlimited

Popular are the young people of Hawai'i nei
For the civil strife they cause against the government
Together in one thought to bring prosperity to the land
Forward young people and bring
Salvation to Kaho'olawe
