Ahe uʻi ʻoe la a i kaʻu `ike la
Hoʻokahi no ʻiʻini a e lilo ʻoe iaʻu
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Ahe pua noho ia e ke onaona la
Kui au a i lei noʻu a i wehi no kuʻu kino
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu

A eia hoʻi au ke kakali nei la
Elua hana nui o ka liʻa me ka kuko
Eia naʻe a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Ka ʻiniki welawela i ka puʻuwai la
Mea ʻole naʻe ia ka ke aloha hana mau ia
Eia naʻe a he ʻolu ia noʻu

Hoʻolohe mai ʻoe a i ka puana
He lei makamae ʻoe a e haʻaheo a i au
Auwē a he ʻolu ia noʻu
