`Auhea wale `oe

Ku`u lei nani

Ho`i mai no kâua

La e pili

 

 

Kou aloha ka`u a`e

Hi`ipoi nei

Häku`iku`i `eha

I ku`u mana`o

 

 

`Anoa`i ka pilina

Poina `ole

E lei a`e `oe

Me ku`u lei

 

 

Ha`ina `ia mai

Ana ka puana

Ho`i mai no kâua

La e pili

Where are you

My beautiful lei

Come, let us two

Be together

 

 

Your love is mine

To cherish

A recurrent thought

An ache in my mind

 

 

Unexpected

The unforgettable meeting

Wear my love

As a lei

 

 

The story

Is told

Come, let us two

Be together
