Haaheo e ka ua i na pali Proudly sweeps the rain cloud by the cliffs
Ke nihi ae la i kanahele As onward it glides thru the trees
E uhai ana paha i ka liko It seems to be following the liko
Pua a hihi lehua o u The a hihi lehua of the vale

Aloha oe, aloha oe, Aloha oe, farewell to thee,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers
One fond embrace, a hoi ae au One fond embrace, before I now depart
Until we meet again, until we meet again. Until we meet again, until we meet again

O ka halia aloha kai hihi mai Thus sweet memories come back to me
Ke hone ae nei i kuu manawa. Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
O oe no ka'u ipo aloha Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
A loko e hana nei. From the true love shall ne'er depart

Maopopo kuu iki i ka nani, I have seen and watched the loveliness
Na pua rose o Maunawili, Thou sweet rose of Maunawili
Ilaila hiaai ai na manu, And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
Mikiala i ka nani o ka liko. And sip the honey from thy lips
