He aha kau hana e makika liʻi
Mūkīkī ana i koʻu koko momona
Maika poʻo a ka hiʻu na koko ʻohi ʻoe
ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

He aha kau mele iaʻu e ipo liʻi?
Kou leo kiekiʻi muhi ana i ka poʻo
Kou ʻanoʻi au o pāʻina nui?
ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

Nu nui ā koho no ka makika liʻi?
Ka poʻe wīwī me ka poʻe momona
Eia noi loko o na pilikia
ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

He nui nā wahi e minoi ʻai i ke kino
Nā pepeiao me nā lima nā wāwae
Ke piʻi mai nei. Auwē! Koʻu maneʻo!
ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

Haʻina ka puana e makika liʻi?
Mūkīkī ana i koʻu koko momona
Maika poʻo a ka hiʻu na koko ʻohi ʻoe
ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

ʻOia ka hana kolohe a ka makika liʻi

So what are you doing, you little mosquito?
Sipping and sucking the sweet blood from my body
From my head to my toes, you're looking to bite me
That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!

And what are you singing to me, little sweetheart?
Your tiny voice keeps on buzzing around me
Am I your lover, or your biggest dinner?
That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!

You have many choices, you little mosquito
You sting skinny people and also the fat ones
No matter our sizes, we all are in trouble
That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!

So many places you can feed on my body
Two ears and two arms and also my two legs
I know where you "got me". Oh, ouch! I am itching!
That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!

Now that is the story of the little mosquito
Sipping and sucking the sweet blood from my body
From my head to my toes, you're looking to bite me
That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!

That's all you can think of, you naughty mosquito!
