He aloha kuʻu ipo

Kuʻu hoa maka onaona

Noho i ke kuahiwi

(E) hoʻi mai nō kāua

Me au e pili e kuʻu ʻiʻini

A ka puʻu wai

O ka pā----- kō-- nane

A ka mahina la

Ahuwale no ka pae ʻopua

Haʻina mai ka puana

Kuʻu hoa maka onaona

Noho i ke kuahiwi

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Love for my sweetheart

My gentle-eyed companion

Who resides in the mountains

Let us return, we two

My desire (for you) is

Always in my heart

Brightly shining

Is the moon

Revealing the cloudbanks

Tell the refrain

My gentle-eyed companion

Who resides in the mountains
