Lihilihi o ka lehua `A`ala o ka hinano He nahele ki`i wai na ka ua Ko`olua e li`a mau nei     Hui: Loa`a ko puni kauoha Ke koi`i hana nowelo O ke apo wai pauma Ano`ai e li`a nei     O ae kau hana mahope La`au a ke ake mâlie E ala kou ho`ohihi Pela iho a hiki aku	Mekia Kealakai	Fringes of lehua blossoms And the fragrance of the hinano A forest that draws the rain For two who yearn for each other     Chorus: You've obtained your fondest wish The desire from within Circled as a water pump Greeting the ardent wish     While you were occupied yonder The desire gently rises As your interest grows Until I arrive there
