A he ho`oheno nei nou
Nou e ku`u Leilehua
Noho ia e ke onaona
Ho`ohihi nei pu`uwia
`O ka pi`o mai a ke `ânuenue a
`O ka pâ mai a ka manni ka makani la

Holu e ka lau o ka niu
Lau o ka niu o i ka `ae kai
Hô`ike mai `ao `oe ia e ka ipo ku`u ipo la
Kau o ka lawe a lilo
Ke ki`ina ia ka`ana no a ka`ana pa`ala
E lei e ku`u Leilehua
E lei e ku`u Leilehua

This is a song of affection for you
For you my Leilehua
With whom beauty dwells
This heart takes a fancy to you
The rainbow arches above
The breezes blow

Setting the leaves of the coco palms a sway
The coco palms beside the sea
They reveal the presenco of my beloved one
The one whom I wish to win
The winning ways of my darling
My Leilehua
My Leilehua
