`Auhea wale `oe e ka manu
`I`iwi hoapili `oe na`u
Kohu kou nani me ka lehua
Ka wehi kapu `ula


Eia ho`i au, i ka uka o Kilauea
E ku`u ipo e pili mai,
E pili mai `oe iâ`u


Ua inu `oe a kena
I ka wai onaona `ola pua
Pahe`e i ke momoni
Ka wai anuhea lehua


Malia o `ike `oe iâ`u,
Ma ae lihi a`o ka lehua
E ku`u ipo e maliu mai,
E maliu mai `oe iâ`u


Kou leo ka`u aloha
E hea mai iâ`u
Nani ka `i`ini i loko
Kapalili pu`uwai


E huli mai `oe iâ`u,
I ka nani i`ane`i
E ku`u ipo e na`û mai,
E na`û mai `oe iâ`u

Listen `i`iwi bird
Companion mine
Whose beauty is like
The sacred lehua


Here I am at Kilauea
My love come to me,
Come to me


You have drunk
The fragrant nectar of the flowers
So delicious
The fragrant water of the lehua


Perhaps you can see me
Amongst the petals of the lehua
Heed my call my love,
Heed my call


Your voice
Beckons me
Such beautiful thoughts
that make my heart flutter



Turn to find
The beauty that is here
My love come to me,
Come to me
