Nani ka `ôpua
Hiki ahiahi
A ka mana`o a e li`a nei
Me he ala e`i mai ana
E hui ka `ôpua me ke la`i

Hui:
Hiu no wau a na`u `oe
Lawe no wau a lilo
Hiu no wau a na`u `oe
Ua u`o ia ua pa`a

Nani ka `ôpua
Hiki ahiahi
A ke maka e `ike nei
Ho`ohenoheno mai ana
Pehea lâ wau i laila

Lawe nihinihi ia
`Ai a ho`onu`unu`u
Ha`ina ka puana
O ku`u wehi

Beautiful is the horizon cloud
That comes in the evening
With the thought of love
It seems to say
That the clouds combine in the calm

Chorus:
I will take you for me
And take you for me alone
I will take possession of you
And be bound to you as one

Beautiful is the horizon cloud
That comes in the evening
With eyes that see
Loving affection
How will I get there?

That is enough restraint
Eat heartily
Tell the story
Of my decoration
