E koa`e e, e koa`e e
Noho mai `oe i ke alo pali e
Kîkaha e, kîkaha
Hiehie `oe i ka`u `ike e

I ke kai e, i ke kai e
I laila kâu i`a e ki`i ai e
Ho`i mai e, ho`i mai

Kou mau pûnua aloha

Ha`ina e, ha`ina e
Ka inoa ku`u manu koa`e e
Kîkaha e, kîkaha
Hiehie `oe i ka`u `ike e

Tropic bird, tropic bird
You live on the face of the cliff
Soar, soar
You are elegant to my sight

In the sea, in the sea
There your fish is caught
Return, return
With some fish held in the beak

Your feathers, your feathers
Very distinguished in the feather standard
Lovely, lovely
Admired by the people

Above the cliff
Your nest is located
There, there
Your beloved fledgings

Tell, tell
The name of my tropic bird
Soar, soar
You are elegant to my sight
