| He hiaʻai au koʻu ʻoe E ku`u ipo ku`u aloha Ke aloha ka haliʻa ka i hiki mai Me he wai mapuna ka pipiʻi A he pua nani ia ua poni ʻia I kukuni paʻa ia ka ʻiʻini He ʻiʻini hoʻoheno na ka manaʻo I ke onaona noho i ka poli Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana Ka haʻina ʻia a ka puʻuwai |
I am always longing for
you My sweetheart, my darling Love and fond recollections come to meRising like a bubbling spring My darling is a choice blossom, rare To whom I have given my heart A desired one, treasured within A fragrant one, held to my bosom This now ends my song The confession of my heart |
