melody
Kaulana no ʻoe, lehua pua kea
Ua o ka home noho a nā manu
A he manu kuʻu hoa, noho mai i uka
E hoʻoipo a na hoi mea no i pua
A he pua nani ʻoe, nani i lei
I hui kuʻu ia me ke onaona
ʻAuhea wale ʻoe, e ka manu leʻaleʻa
E kuʻuipo hoʻoheno o ka pō laʻi
Ua lai hoʻi au, me kuʻu aloha
I hoa kuʻu wili no iā uka
Haʻina kō wehi, e kuʻu lei
Ua kau kou nani i ke wēkiu

You are famous, white lehua blossom
Making your home with the birds
My feathered companion dwelling in the uplands
My sweetheart, my blossom,
You are a beautiful blossom, a beautiful lei
Fragrance that engulfs and subdues
Where are you, my joyful bird
Sweetheart to cherish in the peaceful nights
I am constant in my love for
My companion, bird of the uplands
Sing this song that honors my lei
Telling of beauty, unsurpassed
