| Auhea wale ana `oe Ku`u lei nani, ku`u ipo Ka`u mea i kau ahe nei Ho`okahi no He mana`o he aloha He aloha ku`u ipo Kulu nei i tu`u wai maka E ho`i mai ia`u Ha `ina ka puana He `ano`i ku`u ipo A ka pu`uwai E ho`i mai ia`u |
Where are you My beautiful lei, my sweetheart For you have become My one and only My thoughts are of love Love for my sweetheart My tears are falling Return to me Sing the refrain so all may hear Love for my sweetheart Always in my heart Return to me |
