- `Auhea wale ana `oe
- E ka `iwa ho`ola`ila`i
- Kikaha malie, kikaha malie
- I ka alo a`o na pali
-
-
- Ua pali e ke kua
- Mahina e ke alo
- He `oiwi nani, he `oiwi nani
- Ko ku`u ipo nohea
-
-
- O na maka ho`eu`eu
- `Ume`ume i ka pu`uwai
- Ua like no ka u`i, ua like no ka u`i
- Me ka ohi`a noho malu
-
-
- Pohai mai na manu
- I ke `ala ho`ohenoheno
- `O Makalei ka hoa, `o Makalei ka hoa
- I ke ona ho`omau `ia
-
-
- Ha`ina mai ka puana
- E ka`iwa ho`ola`ila`i
- Kikaha malie, kikaha malie
- I ka alo a`o na pali

 `Iwa
Bird
|
- This is a song to you
- O Iwa bird quietly
poised
- Gently dipping as you
soar
- Before the face the
cliffs
-
-
- Back as straight as the
cliff
- Face bright as the moon
- A handsome physique
- Has my lovely sweetheart
-
-
- Your merry eyes
- Draw hearts to you
- In beauty you are like
- A mountain apple in the
shade
-
-
- Birds gather about
- To enjoy your appealing
fragrance
- You are comparable to the
Makalei
- In being constanty
attractive
-
-
- Thus ends my song
- O Iwa bird quietly
poised
- Gently dipping as you
soar
- Before the face the
cliffs
