Ke ʻala kaʻu i honi Pōhai nā mokupuni Hiki pū me ke aloha I laila koʻu mahalo Ka pua o ka mokihana Onaona māpuna hanu Aʻu i honi hoʻomau Hui mai nei ke aloha Kahi wai ʻo hoʻohila Kēia wai kaulana A ka manu e inu wai Wehiwehi wale ʻia uka Ka liko o ka palai I wili pū ʻia me ka hala Puana kuʻu lei i ke anu Huli e ke ʻalo i Lanihuli | The fragrance is mine to
enjoy Surrounding my whole being Along with love My gratitude is there The flower of the mokihana Sweet windblown breath Is for me to enjoy always Joining with love One stream is timid Another stream is famous For the bird that drinks thewater Adorning the uplands The unfurling fern Woven tightly with hala Tells of my loved one in the evening Turning to me at Lanihuli |
