Come, let's go back. O Kawaipunahele.   You stand majestically In the splendor of Wailuku. My cherished sweetheart, My adornment of the night Come, let's go back. O Kawaipunahele   Here is Keali`i Waiting in loneliness I am lonely, I hurt Come, let's go back, O Kawaipunahele.   Tell of the love, Of my never-fading lei. Never separated, Firmly united When it's right, we'll go back, O Kawaipunahele
