He aloha no Ka`uiki
`Au i ke kai me he manu ala

O ke ka ka ua ko`i aweawe
Me ke komo kaimana a i ka lima

O ke ani peahi a ka Unulau
E ho`i e pili me ka `ie`ie

O ke oho lau lena o ka awapuhi
Ua puni ho`i au i kahi manu

O ka `alapahi mai i ka nahele
Ka hoehoene i mauna Laniuma

Hû mai ko`u aloha
Ka palai moe anu o ka nahele

Hele no `oe a `ike lihi mai
Ka`u koe kô maka la i`a nei

Heaha ka`u hala i paweo ai
A manawa ino ai nui kô nuku

Ho`i mai kaua la ua lai
Ua kani ka piano hu`ehu`e song

Ua pau keia me ke aloha
Nâ`û na ka puhi ôlali o ka hema

Ku`u lei ku`u lei ia lâ
He lei `ânuenue pi`o i ka moana

Kuhi ana au o ku`u lei ia
Lei `ânuenue pi`o i ka moana

`O ke ahi kaulana `a`â i ka nuku lâ
`A`â iâ Ka`uiki `a`â i ke kai

Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana
He aloha no Ka`uiki `au i ke kai

Love for Ka`uiki
Reaching seaward like a bird

The rain in columns, moving in streams
Each drop like a sparkling diamond ring on the finger

The Unulau wind blows gently
The `ie`ie vines beckon to return

The leaves of the `ôlena ginger
Engulfed by rain, one bird stirs

The forest is deceiving
Singing softly to flowering mountain, Laniuma

My love swells
The fern rests in the cold forest

You must come for just a little while
My waiting here is to fulfill love

Why hesitate and turn away
Feelings are hurt waiting for entry

Return so we can be together and content
Repeating the rhythm, like the sound of the piano

That ends love
With a sigh, the inexperienced eel slips away

My wreath, it is my wreath
A wreath of rainbows arching over the sea

I thought it was my lei
A rainbow lei arching over the sea

The famous fire blazing at the rim
Blazing on Ka`uiki, blazing over the sea

This is the end of my song
Of my love for Ka`uiki reaching seaward
