- Alualu wai li`ulâ o ke kaha pua`ohai
- O ka ua lanipô lua

- Ku`u hoa o ka malu kî malu kukui o Kaho`iwai

- Noho nô me ka `anoi ka mana`o ia loko
- O loko hana nui, pau`ole i ke ana `ia

- Smelling a fragrance in the
cool air
- Chilled is the skin in the Pô`aihala
rain
- Wearing a mokihana lei, the
adornment of Kaiona
- Shivering in the cold, the icy cold of
California
-
-
- Chorus:
- Respond, lady in the sunshine
of Kaiona
- Following the mirage where monkeypod blossoms bloom
- In the pouring, chilly Ko`olau rain
- My companion in the ti and
kukui grove of Kaho`iwai
-
-
- Delighting in the loveliness of creeping
strawberries
- Hidden in the fog that spreads
in the cold
- Remaining with delight within the thoughts
- So deep within, it is immeasurable
-
-
- At Niagara Falls she saw rainbow hued
water
- Surrounded by the mist that covers there
- Shivering in the foam, crouching in the cold
- Here is warmth in the bosom of Hi`ilei
