Nani wale au e `ike nei
I ka kâkela ku `ike alo pali
I laila hia`ai ka manao
Ika hana a ka uwila
Hui:
Ohaoha wale ku`u lei
I ka lîhau ia e ka ua noe
Ka hikina ana mai i ka pônei
Ho`opumehana i ku`u poli
Mea `ole ia pouli nui
I hanu ia mai e ke ala
Mea `ole ka loa o nei kula
Ke anu me ke ko`eko`e |
I love to gaze at the beauty,
Of the castle on the face of cliff
There are delightful thoughts
So thrilling
Chorus:
My wreath so charming,
Freshened by the dewdrops
Last night you came,
Your bosom, so warm
Never mind the night and its darkness,
Aroused by your breath
Never mind the distance
And the way so cold and bleak |
