Ali'i 'Iolani

`Auhea wale `oe e ku`u aloha `eâ

Ne`ene`e mai `oe, ne`ene`e mai `oe

A pili pono

Kakona ka `i`ini me ka mana`o
Lalawa a ninihi, lalawe a ninihi
He ma`û ia.

Ha`a mai nâ hene ua noe luna `eâ
Waiho kâhela, waiho kâhela
Luhe i ka wai.

He kai nehe mai i ka `ae one `eâ
I ka pâ honehone, i ka pâ honehone
Hone i ka poli

I ku`u aloha e hone mai `oe `eâ
Pipili a mamau, pipili a mamau
A hô`i`o.

Ha`ina ku`u li`a po`ina `ole
Ke aloha i pili `ia, ke aloha i pili `ia
I ka pu`uwai.

Hea aku no wau e ô mai `oe `eâ
Ali`i `Iolani, Ali`i `Iolani
Nou ke kahua

Traduccion

Now listen my love

Snuggle up, snuggle up

Till you're good and close

Desire throbs at the thought

Being carried away to the brink

Is better than nothing

Misty rain from above comes down the slopes

Lying spread out, lying spread out

Drooping with water

It's a sea lapping on the soft sand

With a sound so appealing

Appealing to the heart

Oh my love, tease me gently

Cling close as always

As if you take this seriously

This tells of my unforgettable desire

The love that is held fast

In the heart

I call out, oh answer

Noble Iolani, noble Iolani

In your honor, this theme
