About the Song
Lyrics

Niʻihau:
Kaulana nō ‘oe nani Ni‘ihau
Pūpū lei nani o ka ‘āina

He nani hiehie ‘oi kelakela
Ka lei ‘ā‘ī o Kahelelani

Hō mai kou aloha pili me a‘u
Ke aloha pumehana no Ni‘ihau

Eō e Ni‘ihau i kou inoa
Pu‘uwai ‘olu‘olu me ke aloha

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Pūpū lei nani o ka ‘āina

Kuʻu Lei Pūpū:
Aloha a‘e ana i ku‘u lei pūpu
E kaulana nei a i nā malihini

He lei momi ‘oe na nā kūpuna
A he lei ‘ā‘ī na o‘u mau mākua

Ua hana ‘ia ‘oe me ka no‘eau
Nā u‘i like ‘ole o Kahelelani

He waiwai ‘oe ke loa‘a mai
He pono kaulike no ka lehulehu

Hō‘ike a‘e ‘oe a i kou nani
Ka mālamalama a puni ka honua

‘O ka Makua Lani ko‘u alaka‘i
Nāna e kia‘i me ke aloha

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Ku‘u lei pūpū poina ‘ole

Ha‘ina hou ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Ku‘u lei pūpū e kaulana nei
