I ke aheahe puana
Pā mai i ka'u 'ike ku'u lovely hinahina
A i ka hanu 'a'ala sweet he nohea
Honi 'ia e ka lā, ka lā kau mai i luna
I ka welo a ka lā i ka moku 'o Lehua
Pua ehu mai ala 'o uka
Mehameha i ka mōlehulehu
Ka 'a'ahu o ka malama, kīhei 'ōni'oni'o
Ku'u kilohana hōkū nō ia
Ko uluna ku'u poli, mai 'oe
I o'u poli ou makana i halihali 'ia
A i ko'u lono ka hoene a ke kai
Hi'ia e nā 'ēheu hulu makani
'O ia makani nei kai hā'ale aloha
Me he nalu po'i a'ela ko'u loko
Konikoni ana i kahi moe
Puoho ko'u moe i ka hākilo a ka maka
Ona 'ia paha ou mana'o
E huli like ho'i kāua
Pā mai i ka'u 'ike ku'u lovely hinahina
Me 'oe forever ko'u aloha
I ke aheahe puana
I ke aheahe puana
The breeze bears witness
I catch a glimpse of my dear lovely hinahina
And drink in the fragrance of such sweet beauty
Kissed by the sun hovering aloft
As the sun descends beyond Lehua island
The uplands are suffused in a wash of red
Leaving solitude in the dusk and twilight
The mantle of the moon is an embroidered wrap
It is the crest on my blanket of stars
My bosom serves as your pillow, do come
Thus unto my bosom your gift is borne hither
And to my memory oceans' murmer of melody
Presented on wings feathered by the breeze
It is this very breeze that stirs my affections
Leaving my heart like a surging sea
Throbbing even in my bed
Startled from sleep by the enveloping gaze
Perhaps you find your thoughts enraptured
Then allow you and I to indulge
I behold the beauty of my lovely hinahina
My love shall be with you forever
The breeze bears witness to this
