Aia i ka la`i o Keanakolu
Ku`u lei mâmane nu`a i ke anu

Pôniu `ailana hu`e ka mana`o
E ike i ka nani o ia pua

Maoli pua ia no ka uka wao
Noke kuahiwi ho`i me ke kualono

Aia i a luna o Waikiu
Ka luna o ku`u pua i ka`ana ai

Ka`ana pû no wau me ke anu
Ku`u hoa i ke anu ao Hakalau

Lauahi kô lima lâ e ka hoa
Ke aka kau o ke ao nâulu

Ulu hua wale au ia Waiau
Ka piko kaula o ka `âina

I laila ka wai hû a Kâne
Ia wai kaulana helu minuke

Pupû ike `ole ia iho ia
He ihona na ka lima hema `eha `oe

Maka `ao`ao `âkau mai `oe
O loa`a i ka hema lâ palupalu

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Aia i ka la`i o Keanakolu

There in the calm of Keanakolu
My mâmane blossom thrives in the cold

An overwhelming desire engulfs the mind
To see the beauty of that flower

It is a native flower of the upland forest
Growing in the mountain ridges tall

Up on the heights of Waikiu
It is the upland my blossom is fond of

I enjoy the pleasure of being cold
With my love in the cold of Hakalau

Your hands are ever adept, oh love
As you stand in the shadow of the rain clouds

I am annoyed with Waiau
The famous lake at the summit of the land

There is found the gushing spring of Kâne
The famous water that flows minute by minute

Should you be careless in descending,
Down the left side, you'll be hurt

Take the right hand side in going
Lest you slip to the left and be weakened

Thus ends my song
Of the calm of Keanakolu
