Hoʻoheno no nei no kuʻu ipo aloha ē
No kuʻu aloha, kuʻu milimili
Aʻu e pūlama mau nei, ʻae
Mea hoʻohauʻoli puʻuwai
A he waiwai nui ke aloha, aloha
A loko aʻe hiʻipoi nei
Ua hiki ua lana ka manaʻo ua kō
A eia ʻia ʻala i kuʻu poli
ʻŌiwi nani kū kilakila, uʻi nō
Kehakeha i ka ʻike a ka maka
Makamaka hale kipa ʻoe noʻu, mai
ʻOia i ka manawa kūpono
Ua pono ua kō ka `i`ini, maika`i
O koʻu aloha nō iā ʻoe
Hea aku nō au ō mai ʻoe e ō,
ʻO ka nani o nā pua kou inoa

This is a love song for my sweetheart, my beloved
For my darling and my pet
She whom I have always cherished, yes indeed
The one who brings joy to my heart
Love is a treasure to be prized, love so choice
A treasure to be held within
Courage has come to me, for I have won my love
Now, here, I hold her in my arms
With form so lovely, regal is she
A sight to ravish the eyes
My intimate companion, Come!
What better time can be found for love!
How joyful it is that my wish is fulfilled, delightful!
Constant my love shall be
I call, you answer, “Here am I”
You are my beauty among flowers
