Lyrics

Ma‘ema‘e ke kino o ka pala‘ā
Uluwehi i uka a‘o Maunawili
Hali‘a mai ana ka desire o loko
Ka ‘i‘ini no ka pua mōhala i laila
Ka ‘i‘ini no ka pua mōhala i laila

Pulupē ko kāua ‘ili me ke kēhau
‘O ku‘u pua mōhala, eia i ka pu‘uwai
Precious ‘ala kūpaoa, ‘olu‘olu a ka beauty
Na ka lani punahele e milimili
Na ka lani punahele e milimili

Ua ‘ike iho au i ke aloha
‘O kou poli pumehana, nanea i ku‘u maka
‘Olu‘olu to mine heart e ha‘eha‘e nei
Pili pa‘a kāua i ka ua mālie
Pili pa‘a kāua i ka ua mālie

E ka noe o ka lani e maliu mai
Eia ka ‘ano‘i a ka love ma ‘ane‘i
Hea aku nō wau e ō mai ‘oe
Pua mōhala kau mai i luna i ka wēkiu
Pua mōhala kau mai i luna i ka wēkiu
