E hāʻawi mai iaʻu lei pakalana
Eia o nēia pua lei pakalana

E hāʻawi mai iaʻu lei poni moʻī
Eia o nēia pua lei poni mōʻī

E hāʻawi mai iaʻu lei ʻawapuhi
Eia o nēia pua lei ʻawapuhi

E hāʻawi mai iaʻu lei pīkake
Eia o nēia pua lei pīkake

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Eia o nēia pua lei pakalana

Given to me, a lei of Chinese violet
Here, the flower lei of Chinese violet

Given to me, a lei of carnation
Here, the flower lei of carnation

Given to me, a lei of ginger
Here, the flower lei of ginger

Given to me, a lei of jasmine
Here, the flower lei of jasmine

Tell the refrain
Here, the flower lei of Chinese violet
