- Fragrant flowers cool and sweet
- Remind me of my Lani
- Blossoms for her hands and feet
- But none as fair as Lani
-
- No matter how they try and try
- No other hands can hold me
- No matter if I live or die
- No other arms enfold me
-
- Stars are falling from the sky
- They're falling for my Lani
- Falling stars are in her eyes
- For they adore my Lani
-
- Although she makes me cry and cry
- Although her lips may scold me
- I'll know she'll be love my bye and bye
- For Lani's eyes have told me
-
- Palm trees by the Ala Wai
- Bow their heads before her
- How they sigh when she walks by
- Just because they love her
-
- HaŹ»ina mai and so goodbye
- Goodbye to tears and sorrow
- My Lani will be kissed tonight
- And she'll be mine tomorrow
