I Waikiki anuanu au | At Waikiki I am cold |
Ho'i au i Kewalo pumehana au | Returning to Kewalo I am warm |
Aia I Kalihi ka'u aloha | There at Kalihi is my love |
I ka hale kula nui 'o Kamehameha | At Kamehameha High School |
Mea 'ole ia loa i kahi mana'o | I don't mind traveling the distance |
Ma hope ho'i au me ku'u aloha | To be with my love |
He loa ka 'imina a ka huapala | A long time I searched for this sweetheart |
'Alo a'e i ke kula o Kaiwi'ula | Over the plains of Kaiwi'ula |
'Olelo kauoha na ku'u aloha | My love said be there |
I ka hola 'eiwa hiki aku wau | At nine o'clock |
Kakali au a hala ka manawa | I waited long past the appointed hour |
Pau ka mana'olana o ka hiki mai | The thought came to me, she is not coming |
Ke hulu ho'i nei 'o Lelesia | Lelesia is returning |
Keiki o ka pua la'i | Child of the la'i flower |
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana | Tell the refrain |
Ho'i au i Kewalo pumehana au | I return to Kewalo and I am warm |
