Nani wale no ʻoe
Mahina kau ahiahi
Hoʻoheno nei i lehua
Ua hiki ka haliʻa
Ua liko i ka nohea
Me ʻoe aku ka puana
O ka moe

Hui:
Kui ia ko lei
I koʻolua no ia uka
Ia uka iʻu iʻu
Lanakoi a ka makemake
Hoʻope ia e ka ua Tuahine

E ia ka ʻanoʻi i poni ia
I kuini paʻa ia e ka ʻiʻini
He ʻiʻ ini kau nui a ka manaʻo
He haliʻa hana mau ia loko

Your dazzling beauty
Is like the rising moon
Encircled with a garland of lehua,
Remember, two of us together
And your shining beauty
Come quickly
And repose

Chorus:
Weave a garland,
For our charming bower;
Hidden away
Desiring intensely
To be filled with the Tuahine rain

For you, I am aching,
You are my crowned queen,
Thoughts of you, my great desire
Forever within me
