Kāua i k holoholo pō mahina
I ka uwapo holuholu i ka muli wai

A loaʻa ʻoe iaʻu i ka pō nei
I ka muliwai aʻo hanahana pono

ʻO ka pā kōnane a ka mahina
ʻO ʻoe aʻo wau i kāhi mehameha

ʻElua wale iho nō kāua
ʻEkolu i ke aka o ka mahina

ʻOʻoe aʻo wau nalo ia mea
I ka pā pōhaku hana ke aloha

ʻĪ mai ʻoe iaʻu he aloha kou
He aloha wale nō i kou lehelehe

Lehelehe akamai kou i ka pelo
He aʻo naʻe i ka hoʻopunipuni

Kaʻapuni hoʻi au a puni ke kaona
Aʻohe he lua e like me ʻoe

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ka uwapo holuholu i ka muliwai
