Beautiful Kahana  (1915) 
Mary Jane Montano (1842-1930)

Mau loa nō koʻu mahalo nui
I ka nani pūnono o Kahana
Ka moani ʻaʻala anuhea
O na pali aʻo Koʻolauloa

Hui:
ʻO ka home ia o ka wahine
Puʻuwai aloha a ʻĪnia
He pua ua mili ani ʻia
E ka Mālualua kiʻi wai

ʻO Kalāhikiola nō ka ʻoi
He puʻulena ia na ka maka
Kohu kihene pua ka uʻi
I luluhe i ka ʻae o ke kai

Hui:
He maile kaluhea ia laʻi
Haʻaheo a ke ao nāulu
Ulu aʻe ka manaʻo he aloha
Ia kuini pua ʻo Kahana
