- Hanohano wale ka ikena
I ka luna ai kilohana
E kilohi ana i ka nani
I ka olu i Paka`alana
Nani Waipi`o i ka la`i
- E kahelahela nei
- O ke oho a`o ka palai
- Ka`u ia e hia ai nei
Pau `ole ko`u ho`ohihi
Ke ala o ke tubarose
Mapu `a`ala i ka poli
Me he ipo e iniki ana
-
-
- Hui:
- Be still `oe ke aloha
- A`e nape mâlie nei
- A he aha kou makemake
- Au a`e hana aku ai
-
-
- Nani wale ku`u `ike ana
- Ka nohea o ka tuberose
- He moani `ala i ku`u poli
- Me he ipo e `iniki ai
Ha`ina mai ka puana
Na Lehua oi Kaukini
Ha`ina hou `ia mai
Na liko i ka pu`uwai

Beautiful Waipio in the
calm
A panorama
With a surface of fern
For me to enjoy
- Chorus:
- You be still, love
- Sway gently
- Whatever you want
- I`ll do
-
-
- How beautiful that which I
see
- The loveliness of the
tuberose
- A sweet fragrance at my
bosom
- Like a sweetheart 's love, it
pinches
