Ua noho au a kupa i kou alo
A kama`âina a`e kou leo
Ka hi`ona a ka mana`o lâ i laila
I `ane`i ka waihona a ke aloha
Aia i ka wêkiu ka pua lehua
Ke ona `ia maila i nâ manu
Pili `ia ka makani Waiolohia
Ua la`ahia au me ka Mâluakele
Pa`ê`ê mai ana e ka leo o ka hikihiki
Hiki `ano`ai ke `ala o ka pêsila
Sila `ia iho ko aloha lâ welawela
E uho`i nô mâua lâ e pili
**Aia i ka wêkiu ka pua lehua
Ke ona `ia maila i nâ manu
`Ike `ia ke aloha wai olohia
E ho`i nô kâua lâ e pili
**Pa`ê`ê mai ana e ka leo o ka hikihiki
Hiki `ano`ai mâua me ka pêlika
Sila `ia iho ke aloha i paia loko
I hoapili no ke kino
I have stayed and become accustomed to your face
And familiar with your voice
The memory of someone attracts me there
Where the sweet water makes love flourish
The lehua blossom rests in the lofty heights
Encircled by the birds
Touched by the Waiolohia wind
I am set aside by the Mâluakele wind for a special purpose
An encouraging voice has reached me
That the fragrance of the pêsila arrives unexpectedly
Your love has been sealed, burning
I hope that we will be together again
**There in the highest place is the lehua blossom
Attractive to the birds
Seen is the beloved moving water of desire
Let's come back together again to stay
**The voice of the hikihiki come to me
It lovingly comes to hold my attention
Love is sealed and held within
To become a companion for your person
