Hawaiian lyrics:
Ha'aheo ka ua i na pali
Ke nihi a'ela i ka nahele
E hahai (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 ho'i a'e au
Until we meet again
'O ka hali'a aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone a'e nei i ku'u manawa
'O 'oe no ka'u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei
Maopopo ku'u 'ike
i ka nani
Na pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hia'ia na manu
Miki'ala i ka nani o ka lipo
