Kaulana mai nei kahi hame pila lâ
Ka ipu honehone meka huapala lâ,
Huapala lâ

A he hewa iho `oe i ka `ama`ama lâ
He i’a lâwalu ho`omoemoe lâ,
Moemoe lâ

A e iho au i Waialua lâ
I laila iho au haupa iho `ai lâ,
Iho `ai lâ

Inâ `o Mine ku`u lio holo lâ
Mea `ole ke `alu iho nâ pali lâ,
Nâ pali lâ

Ha`ina `ia ma ana ka puana lâ
Kaulana mai nei kahi hame pila lâ,
Hame pila lâ

Famous is a certain hame pila
The sweet sounding instrument which teases
The sweetheart

You are mistaken in pursing the young mullet
It is a fish for broiling in ti leaves
Lay for broiling

And when I descend to Waialua
There I will eat heartily
Will eat

If my horse were my own
Effortless would be the descent on the cliffs
The cliffs

Tell the refrain
Famous is a certain hame pila
Stringed instrument
