Hiaʻai ka manaʻo ai kou nani
A he pua melemele kuweluwelu

Ua like kou nani e kealoha
Hihi aku e ka luna poli pumehana

Kumaha kai kena o ka ʻāina
Aka pu`uwai ae hone ae nei

Eia mai au ko hoapili
Hoʻoheno ʻoe nei me ka huapala

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Huapala kou inoa puni ke kaona

Famous is the flower of the sweetheart
A beautiful, shy flower, she is, to be seen

(My) thought is delighted at your beauty
Like the yellow cockscomb flower

It is like your beauty and affection
Entangled high in the warmth of my bosom

At ease and satisfied of the land
Sweetly appealing to the heart

This is my intimate friend
Cherished, you are, and my sweetheart

Now my story is told
Your name is my secret love
