- E kuʻu pua mae ʻole
- Aʻu i kui ai a lawa
- I lei hoʻohiehie
- Nō ke ano ahiahi
-
- Hui:
- Wehiwehi ʻoe e kuʻu ipo
- He ʻiʻini ke koʻiʻi waiho hoʻi i loko
la ko loko
- Loko hana nui i ka puʻuwai
- ʻO kō leo nahenahe e maliu mai
-
- E kuʻu lei mai ʻole
Aʻu i kui a lawa
I lei hoʻohiehie
Nō ke ano ahiahi
Hoʻohihi ka manaʻo aʻe ʻike
- I ka lau ʻāhihi o ia uka
- I puia i ke ʻala onaona
- Me ka ua hāliʻi ka nahele

- My flower that never
fades
- I string a lei
- For you, so lovely
- In the evening
-
- Chorus:
- You are so decorative, my
sweetheart
- A longing, a desire for you lies within
- Surges within my
heart
- Your gentle voice speaks to me
-
- O my ever fadeless lei
Which I strung and completed
Into a lei to adorn me
For the evening hour
One wants to know
and love
- The ʻāhihi of the
uplands
- Drenched with fragrance and
perfume
- And the spreading rain of the
forest
