| Like drowsy waters are thy deep-lit eyes, love | Kealoha e malia ma i oe |
| And my heart the flower thirsting deep on hope's brink, | Oia i kea loha i ke kino |
| Oh give me to drink thy tender sighs, love | Ua kui a pa'a lei |
| Give me to drink, again, give me to drink | I wahi ho'o heno noka lani |
| The scent of your hair is here at my heart, love, | Auhea wela oe kealoha |
| Old kisses burn softly along my veins, love | La au ho'o ulu I ke kino |
| But oh, where are you and why are we apart, love | Ia i la ka u a e pili a i |
| Without you naught of joy remains | I ka o lu o wai la |
| The rainbow in the sky aloft is gleaming | Ua la na loko i ka make make |
| The wind among the palms, is softly singing | I ka nani o mai le ha he i |
| While far o'er the sea your voice calls me, | I u he ne ika po-lio ma lio |
| Drowsy waters, by whose shores I lie dreaming. | I ke one ma lua ka a ka wai |
