'Auhea iho nei o Lei aloha

Ku'u hoa i ka nani a'o nā pua

Eia mai au 'o suipa lilo

Ka ipo i ke aka pua aniani

He aniani wale 'o hali'a loko

Nowelo mao 'ole i ka pu'uwai

Nā wai nō 'oe e a pakele aku

I ka wai o ka pānini pua kea

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ku'u ipo i ka nani a'o nā pua

Where has Leialoha gone?

My companion amid the beautiful flowers

Here am I, "Sweep-all-to-myself"

Your sweetheart in the shadow of fair flowers

Well known is my heart's turmoil

As love stirs ceaselessly in my heart

How can you escape its influence

After tasting the honey of the white flowered cactus

This is the end of my song

Of my sweetheart among the beautiful flowers
