Kuhio Bay (translation)

For the first time I saw it with my own eyes
In the beauty of Waiakea
there is no equal
With beauty and splendor
And Kuhio Bay
I appreciate the beauty of Hilo
With the next pouring rain
I am moving Mokuola In the sea
you have eaten it
It's famous
Rainbow water and famous water
Visitor's water
Surprising as you know
