E hâ`awi mai ia`u lei pakalana
Eia o nêia pua lei pakalana

E hâ`awi mai ia`u lei poni mô`î
Eia o nêia pua lei poni mô`î

E hâ`awi mai ia`u lei awapuhi
Eia o nêia pua lei awapuhi

E hâ`awi mai ia`u lei pikake
Eia o nêia pua lei pikake

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Eia o nêia pua lei pakalana

Given to me, a lei of Chinese violet
Here, the flower lei of Chinese violet

Given to me, a lei of carnation
Here, the flower lei of carnation

Given to me, a lei of ginger
Here, the flower lei of ginger

Given to me, a lei of jasmine
Here, the flower lei of jasmine

Tell the refrain
Here, the flower lei of Chinese violet
