Ka Pilina - By Frank K. Hewitt 

ʻŌʻioʻio ka ʻelepaio
I ke kulu o ke aumoe

Kani aʻe ka ʻapapane
Me kona leo nahenahe

Lohe ʻia ke ao
He mele ko ka ʻiʻiwi pōlena

Eia aʻe ka wahine
Halihali ʻia mai e nā manu

ʻO ka pilina ā kāua 
ʻO ka pilina ā kāua
The elepaio chirps
As midnight approaches

The ʻapapane sings
With his beautiful voice

Heard at dawn,
A song of the ʻiʻiwi pōlena

Now approaches the woman,
Attended by the birds

Our love and intimacy
Our love and intimacy
