- Sweet and lovely
- Ke onaona o ka maile
- Hoʻoipo ke ʻala hoʻoheno
- Sure i ka pili poli
-
- Nanea e walea
- E luana kāua i laila
- Mikioi ke kiʻina hei
ko
- Puʻuwai kapalili
-
- Hui:
- Nani ua ko ka ʻiʻini
- A i hoapili mau ʻoe noʻu
- Koʻiʻi ke aloha e nowelo, e ʻuleʻu
- He hene waiʻolu a loko, hey hey
-
- Haʻina ka puana
- Ke onaona o ka maile
- ʻAnoʻai ka pilina
- E lei aʻe au me kuʻu lei

- Sweet and lovely
- Is the maile's fragrance
- A delightful odor
- That clings to the bosom
-
- May we linger happily
- You and I
- With the sweetness that
captivates
- Your fluttering heart
-
- Chorus:
- Surely I have won
- You for my own
- Love endures with us, stirring,
animating
- A soothing sensation within,
hey hey
-
- This ends my song
- Of the maile's fragrance
- Which breathes from
- The leis of my love and
me
