La Hanau.

1  No ka la hanau ke aloha,
La hanau o ke Alii,
Ke Kama o Hawaii nei,
Ka makua o ka lehulehu,
I keia la mua o Novemaba,
Ke ike nei kakou.

2  Ke ku nei no kakou,
Ma ka lai o Maunaihi,
Hoonani i ka la hanau,
La hanau o ke ‘Lii,
I keia la hoolai no,
Ua ike ko ka lani.

[Birthday.

1  Aloha for the birthday
Birthday of the Alii
The Child of Hawaii nei
Parent to the multitudes
On this first day of November
We give recognition.

2  We rise
In the serenity of Maunaihi
Celebrating the birthday
The birthday of the Alii
On this peaceful day
The heavens give recognition.]
