Aloha e ka pua ʻo ka hinahina
Hina au i ka hewa lā ma muli ou

Aloha e ka pua ʻo ka manakō
Ua hoʻokō ʻia kou makemake

Aloha e ka pua, ʻo ka pānini lā
Kaʻanini ʻoe i lalo lā ma ka ʻeha koni

Aloha e ka pua ʻo ka ʻōhai
Hoʻohai aʻo Papa ke ʻike iā Mama

Aloha e ka pua ʻo ka ʻōhai
Hoʻohai ʻoe iʻau ke ʻike mai

Haʻina mai ana ka puana
Hina au i ka hewa lā ma muli ou

Beloved is the flower of the hinahina
It is because of you that I have strayed

Beloved is the flower of the mango
Your desire has been satisfied

Beloved is the flower of the pānini
You fall to the ground with a throbbing ache

Beloved is the flower of the ʻōhai
Dad flirts with mom when she comes into view

Beloved is the flower of the ʻōhai
You flirt with me when I come into view

Tell the refrain
It is because of you that I have strayed
