ʻAʻole kēnā o ke kolopā
Ā he holu holu ai
A nei kīkala

ʻAʻole kēnā o ke kipikua
Ā he ʻume ʻume ai
A nei pōhaku


ʻAʻole kēnā o ke kāmaʻa
Ā he ʻuwi ʻuwi ai
A nei papa hele

Ka ihu o ka lio kaʻu mea aloha
I ka hanu hanu wai
A pau pau aho

ʻAʻole kēnā o ka ʻaiʻana
Ā he mino mino ai
A nei pālule

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ā he holu holu ai
A nei kīkala


That's not the crowbar
Swaying, swaying
These hips
  
That's not the pickax
Pulling, pulling
This rock 
 
That's not the shoes
Squeaking, squeaking
On the floor 
 
The nose of the horse is my beloved
Breathing and panting
Breathless
  
That's not the iron
Wrinkling, creasing
This shirt 
 
Tell the refrain of the
Swaying, swaying
Hips
