Lei of Kona

Angels carry your prayers

On golden wings to the Heavens

 

Brilliant is the Lehua Lei of Kona

Admired by many

 

Eyes seeing everything even when closed

Your prayers are truly blessed

 

Beloved is the Lehua Lei of Kona

A sacred healing light indeed

 

The birds sing your name

And even the rose bows her head

 

Beautiful is the Lehua Lei of Kona

Famous all over the world

 

Your name song is chanted

Even by the lotus blossom at night

 

Cherished is the Lehua Lei of Kona

A guiding star above eternally
