Haaheo ka ua ina pali
Ke nihi aela i ka nahele
E uhai ana paha i ka liko
Pua ahihi lehua o uka



{ Aloha oe, Aloha oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace, a hoi ae au
A hui hou aku}


O ka haili aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone ae nei kuu manawa
O oe no kau ipo aloha
a lo ko e hana nei


{hui}


Maopopo kuu ike i ka nani
Na pua rose o Maunawili
Ilaila hiaai na manu
Miki ala i ka nani o ka liko


{hui}

Farewell to thee
Translated by Richard Kapuaala

Proudly the rain in the cliffs
Rises gently through the forest
Perhaps searching for the glistening
Lehua bush buds of the upland


{Farewell to thee, Farewell to thee
O the sweet fragrance dwelling in the deep forest
One fond embrace, before we part
Until we meet again}


O loving memories come to me
the sweetness of our precious vows
O you are my loving sweetheart
We have reached fullfillment


{chorus}


Cherished memories know the beauty
The rose blossoms of Maunawili
The birds delighted there
Sipping the beauty of the new buds


{chorus}
