Nani wale no `oe
Mahina kau ahiahi
Ho`oheno nei i lehua
Ua hiki ka hali`a
Ua liko i ka nohea
Me `oe aku ka puana
O ka moe

Hui:
Kui ia ko lei
I ko`olua no ia uka
Ia uka i`u i`u
Lanakoi a ka makemake
Ho`ope ia e ka ua Tuahine

E ia ka `ano`i i poni ia
I kuini pa`a ia e ka `i`ini
He `i` ini kau nui a ka mana`o
He hali`a hana mau ia loko

Your dazzling beauty
Is like the rising moon
Encircled with a garland of lehua,
Remember, two of us together
And your shining beauty
Come quickly
And repose

Chorus:
Weave a garland,
For our charming bower;
Hidden away
Desiring intensely
To be filled with the Tuahine rain

For you, I am aching,
You are my crowned queen,
Thoughts of you, my great desire
Forever within me
