E kuʻu ipo o ke ʻaumoe
ʻAuhea la ʻoe e māliu mai
I neia leo a ke aloha
He hoʻoheno kēia nou wale no
ʻAuhea ke ahi o kuʻu kino
Kuʻu hoa mahana a ka ʻiʻini
Anu hoʻi au i ka pō mahina
Hoʻi mai no ʻoe e pili hemoʻole
Pā kolonahe a ke ahe makani
Ho mai ana i kou ʻala
He lei liko o koʻu puʻuwai
Ka pilina hoʻi naʻu ia lei
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
E kuʻu ipo o ke ʻaumoe
ʻAuhea la ʻoe e māliu mai
He hoʻoheno kēia nou wale no

My sweetheart of the midnight hour
- Listen and pay attention
- To this voice of love
- I dedicate this to you alone
Where is the fire of my body
- My darling companion of desire
- I am cold in the moonlight night
- Come back to me, remain, never to part
A soft wind blows its gentle caresses
- Carrying your fragrance to me
- You are a leaf bud lei of my heart
- A union for me to adorn
Sing my dedication
- My sweetheart of the midnight hour
- Listen, pay attention
- I dedicate this to you alone
