Kaulana wale e ka ua o Hanalei
E nihi aʻe nei i nā pali
E hoʻopili ʻia me ka lauaʻe
Me he ipo hoʻoheno nei i ka poli
Ka hoene mai nō a ke kai
Me he ala e ʻî mai ana
E hoʻi mai nō kāua lā e pili
Ka ua loku kaulana aʻo Hanalei

Famous indeed is the rain of Hanalei
Sweeping along the cliffs
To be joined with the lauaʻe fern
Like a sweetheart cuddling in embrace
The sea murmurs softly
As though it were saying
You and I should be together again
Like the famous pouring rains of Hanalei
