'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
