  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
