- Ua like nô a like
- Me ka ua Kanilehua
- Me he ala e `i mai ana
- Aia i laila ke aloha

- Hui:
- `O `oe nô ka`u i `upu ai
- Ku`u lei hiki ahiahi
- `O ke kani a nâ manu
- I nâ hola o ke aumoe

- Ma`anei mai kâua
- He welina pa`a i ka piko
- A nâu nô au `imi a`e

He moani ka`u i honi
`Oiai eia i ka midnight
Me na kipona waianuhea
Ka ma`alo a`e i ku`u maka

- It is like the rain
- That produces the lehua
blossom
- It seems to say to me
- Love is there
-
- Chorus:
- You are the one I'm thinking of
- My beloved who comes in the evening
- The songs of birds are heard
- In the hours of night
-
- Come, let us be here together
- With a love that binds us both
- I will let you come to seek
- And find me where the gentle breezes blow
I smell a wind borne perfume
Here at midnight
With other subtle odors
That pass before me
