Hawaiian National Anthem
The Hawaiian Kingdom's national anthem, entitled "Hawai'i Pono'i," was composed by His Majesty King David Kalakaua in 1876 honoring King Kamehameha I, founder of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1810. The music was arranged by Captain Henry Berger, Bandmaster of the Royal Hawaiian Band, and was based on the Prussian hymn "Heil Dir Im Siegerkranz". Click here to listen to the music (in QuickTime). The English translation is provided below, but the anthem is always sung in Hawaiian.
Hawai'i Pono'i
Hawai'i pono'i
Nana i kou Mo'i
Ka Lani Ali'i

Sweet n Sour, sounds like you can't be an American or a legal resident here. Hawaii is one of the states in the United States of america. Therefore the national anthem of all the states is the same. National, by the way, means 'of the nation' And U.S.A. is a nation, made up of all and thus, one national anthem applies to all 51 states.
By the way, a state song is not the same as the national anthem.

Hawai`i Pono`i is the call of Hawaii's state music. for sure, Hawaii is area of the country, so the "nationwide anthem" for all 50 states is "The action picture star Spangled Banner". per chance the homework grow to be type of a trick question?? (See the internet web site less than for better information and the translation of the Hawaiian identify.)

Aloha O'e?
Okay, now for real--"The Star Spangled Banner."
It's state anthem is "Hawai'i Pono'i" and was it's national anthem when Hawaii was a sovereign nation.

Is this a joke?
Hawaii is a U.S. state. It shares our national anthem.

Hawaii is NOT a nation therefore it does NOT have a national anthem.
