Kiʻekiʻe o Ka'u i kamakani
Haʻaheo o Kaʻu o ka wahine
Me ka ua kaulana o ka ʻāina
Kiliʻopu māua auau lele

Hui:
Ahe nani ia no ka ua hauhau
Kāua hoʻopulu wela i ka ʻili o
ka malihini
Ahe nani ia no ka ua hauhau
Kāua hoʻopulu wela i ka ʻili o
ka malihini

Kaʻu is lofty in the wind
The famous woman of Kaʻu in the evening
With the famous rain of the land
You and I are drenched in the Kiliʻopu rains

Chorus:
Wonderful is our youthful pleasure
You and I drenched in the fiery rain on the skin of the malihini
Wonderful is our youthful pleasure
You and I drenched in the fiery rain on the skin of the malihini
