Mikohukohu Reimagined
Mīkohukohu ke 'ike aku
'O Hāla'i pu'uhene wai 'olu
Ma kai o Haili lei i ka lehua
Just ma uka iki o Waiolamalama
Mālama pono 'oe e Punahoa
O pulu pau i ka 'ehu o ke kai
'O Kaipalaoa hale ipu kukui
E kūkila maila i luna
I luna a i lalo, i 'ō a i 'ane'i
I ka ho'ohae a ka Moanike'ala
Holu lewa ke oho o ka pae niu
Ma ke kaha one hinu hāuliuli
Huli nā maka iā Kanukuokamanu
Lāua 'o 'Ōhelenukuwai
Nā kia'i 'īpuka wai o Wailoa
Wai kipa mau 'ia e ka moku kiakahi
He moku nui 'o Hilo kaulana
Mai Ka'awali'i a i Leleiwi
Nā Hilo he 'ekolu kua uliuli
'O Hilo Palikū lāua 'o Hanakahi
Me Hilo One ke aloha lua'ole
'O Hilo One ka'u punahele
Ka'u punahele 'o Hilo One lā
Enchanting to look at
The gentle slopes of Hāla'i hill
The seaward of the lehua decked forest of Haili
And just a little inland of Waiolamalama canal
Best you take care, Punahoa
Lest you find yourself drenched in sea spray
And Kaipalaoa, a standing beacon
Poised out there so majestic and proud
Up, down, there and here
In the taunting of the Moanike'ala wind
Tousled are the fronds of the palm
On this dark shimmering stretch of sand
The eyes search for Kanukuokamanu
And 'Ōhelenukuwai
Guardians of Wailoa's entrance
Frequented by the one- masted schooner
A large district is this famed Hilo
From Ka'awali'i to Leleiwi
These districts of Hilo are three verdant forest slopes
Hilo Palikū and Hanakahi
With Hilo One is my unequivocal affection
Hilo One is my special one
My love is this Hilo of the sandy strip
