"Aia Laie-i-ka-wai
I ka uka wale la o Pali-uli;
O ka nani, o ka nani,
Helu ekahi o ia uka.
"E nanea e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu.
"Kau mai Laie-i-ka-wai
I ka eheu la o na manu;
O ka nani, o ka nani,
Helu ekahi o Pali-uli.
"E nanea, etc.
"Ua lohe paha i ka hone mai,
O ka pu lau-i a Malio;
Honehone, honehone,
Helu ekahi o Hopoe.
"E nanea, etc."
Behold Laieikawai
On the uplands of Paliuli;
Beautiful, beautiful,
The storied one of the uplands.
REF.--Perhaps resting at peace,
To the melodious voice of the birds.
Laieikawai rests here
On the wings of the birds;
Beautiful, beautiful,
The storied one of the uplands.
She has heard perhaps the playing
Of Malio's ti-leaf trumpet;
Playfully, playfully,
The storied one of Hopoe.
