- Onaona i ka ihu ke honi
- Ka pua 'opu'u i mohala
- 'Omau 'ia iho i ka poli
- Ho'opumehana ho'i ia loko
-
-
- Hui:
- Li'a wale aku ka mana'o
- 'O ka ne'e mai i ke alo
- I mea na'u a e ho'omau ai
- Ka welina 'ana me ia pua
-
-
- Ho'onanea ho'i ka nohona
- Me ka ipo i ke ano ahiahi
- Ka moani a'e o ke 'ala
- Ho'oheno i ka pu'uwai

- A fragrance delightful to the
nose
- Is that of a bud, opening into
a flower
- A flower to be pinned on the
bosom
- Causing a glow within
-
-
- Chorus:
- A longing comes to mind
- To be in the presence of the
loved one
- There ever to be and
- To share with the
blossom
-
-
- There to while the time
away
- With the loved one in the
evening hour
- Her fragrance is wafted by the
breeze
- And ever appealing to the
heart
