- `Auhea `o moani ke `ala
- Hoapili o mi nei
- A he aha kau hana e pâweo nei
- E ka makani Pu`ulena
Hui:
- Kuhi au a he pono kêia
- Au e ho`apa`apa mai nei
- E wiki mai `oe i pono kâua
- I `olu ho`i au e ke hoa
-
- Ho`ohihi aku au e `ike lâ
- I ka wai mâpunapuna
- Ua Tuahine pi`o ânuenue
- `O ia uka `iu`iu
-
- Eia ho`i au ua wehi
- Ua li`a ke onaona
- Ia wai `ona a ka lehua
- Wai mûkîkî a ka manu

Where are you my wind-borne
fragrance
- My dearest, my closest
companion
- Why are you avoiding me
- O Pu`ulena breeze
- Chorus:
- I thought all was well between
us
- Why do you keep me
waiting
- Hurry that all may be well with us
- And I`ll be pleased my dear
companion
-
- I am longing to see
- The bubbling spring
- The Tuahine rain, the rainbow's
arch
- In that distant upland
-
- Here am I all bedecked
- Thrilled by the
fragrance
- And the sweet honey of lehua
- Honey sipped by the
birds
