| E hoʻi i ka pili E kuʻu ipo. E neneʻe mai, e nanea mai E ke aloha, E hoʻonipo kāua |
Come here to me, My darling love. Cuddle close, Relax my beloved, And let us make love |
| He lei wehi ʻoe No kuʻu nui kino. Lei ʻala hoʻōnaona lua i ka poli E ke aloha, E hanu lipo kāua |
You are like a lei, For me to wear. Incomparably fragrant At my heart, my dearest, Let us deeply kiss |
| Ka nehe a ke kai O Kahakuloa Kai koʻo hākuʻi piʻi ka pali E ke aloha, Pulu pē iho kāua |
The sea at Kahakuloa, Rumbles on the rocks And splashes up the cliffs. Oh my love, We are drenched |
| Puana ʻia mai E kuʻu ipo. E neneʻe mai. e nanea mai E ke aloha, E hoʻonipo kāua |
Let it be told, My love, my darling. Cuddle close, Relax my beloved, And let us make love |
