- I Waikîkî anuanu au
- Ho`i au i Kewalo pumehana au
Aia i Kalihi ka`u aloha
- O ka hale kula nui `o Kamehameha
Mea `ole ia loa i kahi mana`o
- Ma hope ho`i au me ku`u aloha
He loa ka `imina a ka huapala
- `Alo a`e i ke kula o Kaiwi`ula
`Ôlelo kauoha na ku`u aloha
- I ka hola `eiwa hiki aku wau
Kakali au a hala ka manawa
- Pau ka mana`olana o ka hiki mai
Ke hulu ho`i nei `o Lelesia
- Keiki o ka pua la`i
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
- Ho`i au i Kewalo pumehana au

- At Waikiki I am cold
- Returning to Kewalo I am
warm
- There at Kalihi is my
love
- At Kamehameha High
School
I don't mind traveling the
distance
- To be with my love
A long time I searched for this
sweetheart
- Over the plains of
Kaiwi`ula
My love said be there
- At nine 'o clock
I waited long past the
appointed hour
- The thought came to me, she is
not coming
Lelesia is returning
- Child of the la`i flower
Tell the refrain
- I return to Kewalo and I am
warm
