The lyrics of the song speak of the beauty and essence of Wai‘anae, a place where the land and sea meet: Aloha ʻia ʻo Waiʻanae
He malu i ka ulu niu
Ulu niu kaulana ʻo Pōkaʻī
He nani ke ʻike aku
Kū kilakila Kaʻala
Kuahiwi kau i ka hano
Uluwehi i ka maile lau liʻiliʻi
He ʻala huʻihuʻi ē
Pā ana ka makani he Kaiāulu
He aheahe mālie
Puīa i ke ʻala o ka ʻawapuhi
He pua ʻala onaona
Haʻina mai ka puana
ʻO Waiʻanae kuʻu home
Home i aloha ʻia e mākou
Home poina ʻole
Love for Waiʻanae
The peaceful shady
Famous coconut grove of Pōkaʻī Bay
I see the beauty
Majestic Kaʻala
The glorious mountain
Where the small leaf maile grows in profusion
With its penetrating fragrance
The wind named Kaiāulu
Blows gently
Brings the fragrance of ginger
The sweet smelling flower
Tell the refrain
Of my home at Waiʻanae
The home that we love
The unforgettable home
