I love These Islands

E mau ko kakou lahui, e ho'omau.
E mau ko kakou 'olelo, e ho'omau.
E mau ka hana pono o ka 'aina
I mau ka ea o ka 'aina i ka pono.
I ka pono--o ka 'aina!!

Ho'oulu ka pono o ka 'aina, e ho'oulu.
Ho'oula ka nani o ka 'aina, e ho'ola.
Ho'ola la, Ho'oulu la, a ho'olaha
I mau ka ea o ka 'aina i ka pono.
I ka pono--ka 'aina!!

Let's strive to keep our nation alive, let's strive.
Let's strive to keep our language alive, let's strive.
Let's strive to preserve the good of the islands
So that righteousness may continue to be with us.
All that's good--in the islands!!

Build the greatness of Hawai'i, build them.
Restore the goodness of the islands, restore them.
Restore!! Build, and sustain them throughout the world
So that righteousness will fill the land once again.
Every good--in the islands!!
