- Naʻaupo wale ʻo Pilialoha
- I ka hapalua nui aʻo Kikau
- Eia mai au nou kuʻu kino
- ʻEleʻele piʻi kēia o ke kumu kuʻai
-
- Waiho mālia ʻoe i kuʻu kino
- O ana iho ʻoe i ka waha ʻulaʻula
- Nanea mai ʻoe e Pilialoha
- I ke ʻauka puʻipuʻi aʻo Kikau
-
- ʻO ka haʻina kēia o Pilialoha
- ʻAʻole au he iʻa no ka lehulehu
- Haʻina ia mai ana ka puana
- I ka hapalua nui ao Kikau

- Carefree are the thoughts of
Pilialoha
- Over Kikau`s boast of his great
wealth
- Here I am, a gift of
masculinity
- Dark, sinewy and
priceless
-
- Remain close to me
- Until I can satisfy you
- Your thoughts are now
wandering, Pilialoha
- My wealth? What wealth?
-
- My answer to you Kikau
is
- I am not a fish of fishes who
nests in any coral
- So this is the end of my
song
- And the answer to you is "No
way"
