Nani wale au e `ike nei
I ka kâkela ku `ike alo pali
I laila hia`ai ka mana`o
I ka hana a ka uwila
Hui:
Ohaoha wale ku`u lei
I ka lîhau ia e ka ua noe
Ka hikina `ana mai i ka pô nei
Ho`opumehana i ku`u poli
Mea `ole ia pouli nui
I hanu ia mai e ke `ala
Mea `ole ka loa o nei kula
Ke anu me ke ko`eko`e |
It is wonderful to me to see
A castle before the face of cliff
It was there that my heart was
thrilled
At the motion of the lightning
Chorus:
Perfect if my lei
Wet in the misty rain
When she came to me last night
She warmed my heart
Great darkness is as nothing to me
Just to smell your fragrance
As nothing to me is the distance
Across the plain, the cold and bleak
