Puamana

Is my home in Lahaina

With flowers so fragrant

My home is so loved

My home

Is surrounded by coconut trees

That stand majestically

Fluttering gently (in the breeze)

A beautiful home

Nestled along the shore

With the bright moon

Upon the whispering sea

Told

Is the refrain (of)

My home in Lahaina

Full of happiness and joy
