Ahe uʻi ʻoe la a i kaʻu `ike la
Hoʻokahi no ʻiʻini a e lilo ʻoe iaʻu
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Ahe pua noho ia e ke onaona la
Kui au a i lei noʻu a i wehi no kuʻu kino
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu

A eia hoʻi au ke kakali nei la
Elua hana nui o ka liʻa me ka kuko
Eia naʻe a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Ka ʻiniki welawela i ka puʻuwai la
Mea ʻole naʻe ia ka ke aloha hana mau ia
Eia naʻe a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Hoʻolohe mai ʻoe a i ka puana
He lei makamae ʻoe a e haʻaheo a i au
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu

You are beautiful to my sight
My one desire is to have you for my own
Oh, that's just fine for me

You are a flower imbued with sweetness
I'll string you in a lei to adorn my person
Oh, that's just fine for me

Here I am waiting for you
With two things in mind, yearning and longing
There now, that's just fine for me

There's a sharp pinch within my heart
I don't mind it, for that is the way with love
There now, that's just fine for me

Listen to the theme of the my song
You are a precious lei of whom I am proud
Oh, that's just fine for me
