- Aia i Kohala kaʻu aloha
- Ka ua naulu o Kawaihae
-
- Hae ana Wapine i ke aumoe
- Ka ʻilio hanu hele ma ka meheu
-
- Na ke kelepona au i haʻi mai
- Ua noho hope ʻoe no ko lei
I laila kulu iho kuʻu waimaka
- Hoʻopulu ʻana i ka lau lihilihi
He lihi kuleana koʻu ia ʻoe
- Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka puʻuwai
Na wai ʻole koʻu aloha
- I ka ua loku mai i ka nahele
O hele i ka la o ke kauoha
- A hoʻi mai ʻoe pili kaua
O ʻoe a ʻowau ka i ʻike iho
- I nei mea nui la he aloha
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
- ʻEono no pua lawa kuʻu lei

- My sweetheart is in
Kohala
- With the wind-borne rain of
Kawaihae
Wapine sets up a barking late
at night
- That dog that sniffs at the
footprints
It was the telephone that told
me
- That you are again with your
darling
Then my tears began to
gather
- Wetting the tips of my
lashes
I have some right to you
- For you are imprinted in my
heart
How can I help loving
- The rain pours in the
forest
Go and obey the command given
you
- Then come back to be with
me
You and I have known
- This great thing called
love
This ends my chant
- For the six flowers that
complete my lei
