- He aloha ku`u ipo ku`u hoapili
- Ke kâunu mole pa`a i ka pu`uwai
Ua like nô `oe me ka
lokelani
- I kilipohe i i ka ua kakahiaka
Ho`oipo ke `ala noho i ka poli
- He waiwai nui `ia na ka mana`o
`O `oe â`o wau ka i kui like
- I ka lei mae`ole a ke aloha
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
- Ke kaunu mole pa`a i ka pu`uwai

- Beloved is my sweetheart, my
close companion
- For whom the thrill of love is
deep in my heart.
You are like the Hawaiian
rose
- Beautifully formed and dewy in
the morning rain.
I woo the sweetness I hold to
my bosom
- A great treasure to my
mind
You and I are the ones who are
strung together
- Like an unfading garland of
love
The story is told
- The thrill of love deep in my
heart.
