ʻŌʻioʻio ka ʻelepaio
I ke kulu o ke aumoe
Kani
aʻe ka ʻapapane
Me kona leo nahenahe
Lohe
ʻia ke ao
He mele ko ka ʻiʻiwi pōlena
Eia aʻe ka wahine
Halihali ʻia mai e nā manu
ʻO ka pilina ā kāua
ʻO ka pilina ā kāua |
- The elepaio chirps
- As midnight approaches
The ʻapapane sings
- With his beautiful voice
Heard at dawn,
- A song of the ʻiʻiwi
pōlena
Now approaches the woman,
- Attended by the birds
Our love and intimacy
- Our love and intimacy
