ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu aloha
Kuʻu ipo noho i ka ʻiu
E noho ʻoe a manaʻo mai
A he kuleana kou i ʻaneʻi

Hui:
Aloha nō au i ko maka
Ko ihu waliwali kaʻu i honi
Koe aku ko piko wai ʻolu
Ua kapu na ka mea waiwai

Ua like nō ʻoe a like
Me ke onaona Iāpana
Ka hoene i kuʻu poli
Konikoni i kuʻu puʻuwai

You are the one I love
My sweetheart dwelling far away
Remain and think of me
Claim your right, here with me

Chorus:
I love your eyes
Your tender nose I kiss
You've captured my heart, I am yours, dear
I pledge that I'll always be true

You are like
The scent of Japan
The melody at your bosom
My heart is beating and aching for you

Someone is tall and handsome
Someone is fair to see
Someone is kissing somebody
Under the light of the moon

Prince Leleiōhoku
