Kaulana 'o Keaukaha
Famous (is) Keaukaha
(E hana hou I ka paukû mua loa)
(Repeat first verse)
Kaleohano, 'o Kaleohano kou inoa

Kaulana 'o Keaukaha.

Aloha au Iâ Mauna Kea, I ke anu o ke ahiahi
Love I Mauna Kea (meaning, White Mountain, referring to mountain on the island of Hawai'I), in the cold of the evening.
Ho'olono, ho'olono, ho'olono I ka leo ka makani
Listen, listen, listen to the voice of the wind
Keaukaha nô e ka wahi.
Keaukaha indeed, the place.
(E hana hou I ka paukû hope)

*Keaukaha = the passing current, referring to Hawaiian homestead land in Hilo, Hawai'I; in fast speech the "au" sound in Keaukaha is pronounced as an "ou" sound.
