Ha `aheo `e ka ua i na pali
Ke nihi a `ela i ka nahele
E uhai ana paha i ka liko
Pua `ahiahi lehua o uka
(Proudly the rain on the cliffs
Creeps into the forest
Seeking the buds
And miniature lehua flowers of the uplands)
Hui:
Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace, a ho `i a `e au
A hui hou aku
Chorus:
(Farewell to you, farewell to you
O fragrance in the blue depths
One fond embrace and I leave
To meet again)
`O ka hali `a aloha ka i hiki mai
Ke hone a `e nei i ku `u manawa
`O `oe no ka `u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei
(Sweet memories come
Sound softly in my heart
You are my beloved sweetheart
Felt within)
Maopopo ku `u `ike i ka nani
Na pua rose o Mauna-wili
I laila ho `ohie na manu
Miki `ala i ka mani o ia pua
(I understand the beauty
Of rose blossoms at Mauna-wili
There the birds delight
Alert the beauty of this flower
