E aloha ae ana nö au
I ka makani kaulana o ka `âina
A`u e ho`oheno nei
Ka makani kâ`ili aloha
Hui:
Ku`u pua, ku`u lei, ku`u milimili ë
Ku`u lei kau i ka wëkiu
A he milimili `oe a he hiwahiwa na`u
A he lei mau no ku`u kino
I aloha `ia nö ia home
Ia home luakaha a ka malihini
A`u i noho ai a kupa
Ka makani kâ`ili aloha
I love the
Famous wind of this land
Mine to cherish
The wind named Love-s*****er
Chorus:
My flower, my lei, mine to cherish
My lei that I adore above all others
You are my favorite and precious to me
A lei forever for my body
Beloved is this home
This home so delightful to visitors
Where I stayed many years
With my love that was once s*****ed by the wind
