- Sweet and lovely
- Ke onaona o ka maile
- Ho`oipo ke `ala ho`oheno
- Sure i ka pili poli
-
- Nanea e walea
- E luana i käua i laila
- Mikioi ke ki`ina hei
kou
- Pu`uwai kapalili
-
- Hui:
- Nani ua ko ka i`ini
- A i hoapili mau `oe no`u
- Ko`i`i ke aloha e nowelo, e `uleu
- He hene wai'olu a loko, hey hey
-
- Ha`ina ka puana
- Ke onaona o ka maile
- `Ano`ai ka pilina
- E lei a`e au me ku`u lei

- Sweet and lovely
- Is the maile's fragrance
- A delightful odor
- That clings to the bosom
-
- May we linger happily
- You and I
- With the sweetness that
captivates
- Your fluttering heart
-
- Chorus:
- Surely I have won
- You for my own
- Love endures with us, stirring,
animating
- A soothing sensation within,
hey hey
-
- This ends my song
- Of the maile's fragrance
- Which breathes from
- The leis of my love and
me
