ʻAuhea wale ʻoe
E sweet weuweu
O ka pepa kika liki

I laila no ʻoe
E pua onaona
Me ka puʻolo liʻiliʻi

Hui:
E puhi ana au i ka pua pakalolo
Sweet weuweu o ka waokele
E hele ana au i ka uka ʻiuʻiu
No ka sweet pakalolo onaona

Where are you,
O sweet grass
Of the cigarette paper?

There you are!
O fragrant blossom
In the small cellophane packet

Chorus:
I am smoking the pakalolo blossom
Sweet grass of the rain forest
I am going to the distant upland
For the sweet pakalolo onaona
