Lyrics
ʻAuhea wale ana ‘oe
E ka pua līlīlehua
A he ipo hoʻohenoheno
E ho‘ohihi ai no ka mana‘o
Iā ‘oe e ‘imi ana
I nā nani o ka ‘āina
Eia nō lā au ma ‘ane‘i
E kali ana i kou ho‘i mai
E ‘alawa mai ho‘i ‘oe
I nei mau maka onaona
He mau maka poina ‘ole
E kapalili ai ko puʻuwai
Hilo paʻa ʻia ke aloha
I ka lino hilo pāwalu
ʻAʻohe mea e hemo ai
Me aʻu ʻoe a mau loa
Haʻina mai ka puana
E ka pua līlīlehua
A he ipo hoʻohenoheno
E hoʻohihi ai no ka manaʻo
