ʻAuhea wale ana ʻoe
E kuʻu lei hiwahiwa
Kuʻu lei mae ʻole
No nā kau a kau

He nani ʻoe i kuʻu maka
E kuʻu lei hiwahiwa
Hoʻohihi au i kou nani
He nani like ʻole

Pau ʻole i koʻu aloha
I kuʻu lei hiwahiwa
Nou mau koʻu liʻa ʻana
He ʻiʻini lua ʻole

Haʻina mai ka puana
No kuʻu lei hiwahiwa
Kuʻu lei mae ʻole
No nā kau a kau

This is to you
O my precious lei
My never fading lei
From season to season

You are a splendor to my eyes
O my precious lei
I admire your beauty
A beauty like no other

Endless is my aloha
For you my precious lei
You are my constant desire
A desire like no other

The story is told
Of my precious lei
My never fading lei
From season to season
