Hail Konawaena, Pride of Hawai'i
We Thy Children sing.
Daughter of Pele, Mauna Loa Cradled, 
Make us worthy of thy Name.

To Thee Oh Jewel of the Konas,
Jewel within the Island Jewel.
We Thy Loyal Sons and Daughters,
Pledge Our Lives, Our Hopes and Aims.

May the Light of Truth You've Kindled,
Burning Bright as Pele's Fires
Lead us on throughout the Ages.
Hail Konawaena Hail to Thee.

Hulō Konawaena, Hulō Ia ‘oe
Hulō  Konawaena Ha’aheo Hawai’i
Mele Kākou nei
Kaikamahine ‘o Wahinekapu
Kapu ‘ia kou inoa!

Iā ‘oe ka heke o nā Kona
Kai ‘ōpua i ka la’i
Kūnou mākou i ko ‘alo
‘Ōlelo ho’ohiki mau.

Ipu kukui lamalama
I ke Ahi wela ē
‘Alaka’i a mau loa, 
Hulō Konawaena, Hulō i’ā ‘oe
