- I uka o ʻĀhuimanu
- I kumu pali wewehi
- Kau ai ka maka iā ʻoe

- ʻOpuʻu mai ka hīnano ēhē
- A mōhala i ka nahele
- He lalilahi ka lihi
- I ka ua Pōʻaihale

- He māpuna i ka Moaʻe
- Hoʻolale i ka manaʻo
- Ia hanu i anuhea

- He wehi no ʻĀhuimanu
- Kau kuʻu maka iā ʻoe

- The hīnano is a flower of
great beauty
- There above ʻĀhuimanu
- At the verdant base of the
cliff
- My eyes are drawn to you
-
- The hīnano bud
emerges
- And blooms there in the
forest
- The sheaths are smooth and
glossy
- In the swirling Pōʻaihale
rain
-
- The hīnano is so very
fragrant
- An aroma carried on the trade
wind
- So stirring to the
thoughts
- Is that sweet scent you
exude
-
- Hear me, my dear
hīnano
- Let your snowy pollen scatter
down
- So the night shall be
perfumed
- You and I shall enjoy our
repose
-
- Let the story be told
- The hïnano is a flower of
great beauty
- An adornment for ʻĀhuimanu
- My eye is fixed on you
