Aloha wale pua hinahina
I lei ho`ohie no ku`u kino

Hui:
`Akahi ho`i ka hikina mai
Ke aloha naenae hone i ka lipo
*alternate 2nd stanza
(Ka hali`a ana hone i ka lipo)

O loko hana nui ka `ano`i
Ka hali`a ana me ke aloha

Ever fond am I of the hinahina
A lei that is lovely, to adorn my body

Chorus:
For the first time it has come to me
This tender love that teases me
*alternate 2nd stanza
(The yearning that fills my heart)

It works within, stirring up much love
Creating a longing and love
