He nani nâ pua lei `ilima
`O ka u`i ho`oheno ulumâhiehie

Ulumâhiehie ka lei `ilima
`Ohu`ohu nâ malihini me nâ kama`âina

I laila ho`ohihi ko u mana`o
I ka nani kaulana o ka `ilima

Inâ i hui `ia me ka maile
Ka lei ho`ouluwehi i ke kino

Ha`ina ka puana no ku`u lei `ilima
Kûlana hiehie me ka hanohano

Lovely wreath of `ilima blossoms
Adorns my beautiful and cherished love

The `ilima wreath, so beautiful
Adorning newcomers and natives

There my thoughts are enraptured
By the famous beauty of the `ilima

Let us weave the maile into
The lei that adorns the body

Tell the refrain of my `ilima lei
Outstanding, distinctive and magnificent
