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 maiThe 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 auI return to Kewalo and I am warm
