ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ke aloha lā
E ka mea hoʻehaʻeha puʻuwai
Na wai e ʻole ke aloha ia lā
A he waiwai ua sila mua ia

Aʻohe kohukohu o ka ua lā
Ke pili mai me aʻu ka wahine uʻi
ʻAia koʻu hoa a e kohu ai
O ka ʻiʻiwi hulu ʻula o ka nahele

Hui:
ʻImi au ia ʻoe e ke aloha lā
Ma na paia ʻaʻala o Puna
A i hea la ʻoe i nalowale iho nei
Hoʻi mai no kāua e pili
