- No ka lei aloha, lei pua kenikeni
- Ko'u hia'ai a me ko'u ho'ohihi
-
-
-
- Ke 'ala ho'oheno ka'u aloha
- I ka ne mai e welilna kaua
-
-
-
- Kaua i ka nani a o ia pua
- I ka hana ho'oipo a ke onaona
-
-
-
- Onaona lei nani lei ho'ohie
- Ho'oipo, ho'oulu mahiehie
-
-
-
- Mapu 'ala ho'oheno i ka poli
- Lanikeha i ka ike a ka maka
-
-
-
- Eia no ka puana o ke mele
- No ka lei pua kenikeni he inoa

- For the beloved lei of pua
kenikeni
- My admiration and
delight

- May you and I admire the
flower's beauty
- With its subtle fragrance so
appealing

- Fragrant, beautiful and
excellent is the lei
- Appealing and most
attractive

heart
