Pa kolonahe mai ka makani
Hali mai ana i ke aloha
Na kapakai a me na manu
Huʻi like a kono e kipa

O nā kini pua o ka ʻāina
I puīa i ke ʻala onaona
Mehe ʻala i mai ana
Aloha, aloha nui ʻoe













The winds from over the sea
Sing sweetly aloha to me
The waves as they fall on the sand
Say aloha and bid me to land

The myriad flowers in bloom
Waft aloha in every perfume
I read in each love lit eye
Aloha, aloha nui ʻoe

A moon of the southern sea
Bear softly this answer for me
Gild the waters that fall on the sand
Kiss the breezes caressing the land

Fill the valley with thy fair light
Help the stars make love to the night
O silver rays unalloyed
Bear aloha, aloha nui ʻoe
