Kuʻu ʻohu lei ānuenue
Koʻiaweawe nei i ke pili
ʻO ka pai a ka makani Kiu
Ka ʻiniki ʻana iho welawela
Hui:
Hoʻi mai kāua e pili
My sweet sweeting
ʻAʻohe pili hemo ʻole i ke kau
My sweet sweeting
Ko ʻawihi ʻana kaʻu ʻupu ai
ʻO ko leo nahe a paʻē mai
I hoʻohenoheno iho ai au
I ke ala o piʻi ka manene

- My adornment, a rainbow
lei
- Lies spreading over the pili
grass
- When lifted by the Kiu
wind
- One feels a sharp pinch
-
- Chorus:
Come, let us be together
My sweet sweeting
Never more to be separated
through the seasons
My sweet sweeting
Your wink I fondly recall
Your sweet voice had been heard
It makes me love so dearly
This pathway to the shudders of delight
