- Iā ʻoe e kuʻu pua lei mokihana
- Hoʻi mai e welina like i ka ʻolu
Eia ko lei nani ua lawa
- Pua onaona i ke kakahiaka
A he lei naʻu a i lei haʻaheo
- Ka hele na o ka ʻāina malihini
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana- Na pua nani kau i ka wēkiu
- Hoʻi mai e welina like i ka ʻolu
Mokihana
- To you, my mokihana lei, I
say
- Come and enjoy this peace with me
Here is your beautiful lei completed
- Of fragrant blooms gathered in the morn
A lei for me to wear with pride
- As I travel to a strange land
This is the end of my song
- Of beautiful, precious flowers
- Come and enjoy this peace with me
