- Onaona ka uka o Kaʻala
- Kuahiwi ʻau i ke kai
- Hoʻomāhie mai ana i ka nahele
- I ka nani o Kuwaipo
-
- Hui:
- Uluhua uluhua wale au
- Uluhua i ka wai a ka nāulu
- Ia wai nihi aʻe i na pali
- Ka lewa mauka o Mikilua
-
- ʻElua no puʻu i ʻoi aʻe
- A Hālona e hiʻipoi nei
- O ka uhiwai no me ka lalana
- E kolu i ke onaona lāpana

- Fragrant the upland of
Kaʻala
- Mountain reaching to the
sea
- Making delightful the
woodland
- With the beauty of
Kuwaipo
-
- Chorus:
- Vexed, vexed am I
- Vexed by sudden showers
- Sweeping across the
hillside
- Floating past Mikilua
There are two great
peaksā- Upheld by Hālona
- Covered by mist and floating
cloud
- Scattering fragrance of night
cestrum
