- `O ka manu `O`o i malama
- A he nani kou hulu ke lei `ia
- Mukiki ana `oe i ka pua lehua
- Kahea ana `oe i ka nui manu

- Hui:
- Hoi mai hoi mai
- Ko aloha ma neia
- Kihene lehua
-
-
- No Hilo i ka ua kanilehua
- Papahi lehua ai Hanakahi
- Ho'okahi a`u mea nui aia `oe
- `O kou aloha ua hiki mai

- Precious honey-eater
- Your beautiful and soft
feathers are woven into a lei
- You sip the lehua
blossoms
- And are called away by other
birds
-
-
- Chorus:
- Come, come to me
- To you beloved
- Lehua cluster
-
-
- Your lehua-sounding rain of
Hilo
- Decorative lehua of
Hanakahi
- One greatest thing I love is
you
- Your lover has come
