| Kaulana kou nani mâlamalama E beautiful mahealani moon Nau i hali aku i ko`u aloha A loa`a ku`u ipo o `ano`i pua Ku`u pua, ku`u lei, ku`u onaona O lovely moonbeam, kiss her for me Me `oe ka welina o ko`u aloha E ka liko pua i ke kakahiaka O ka nahenahe no me ka mali leo Maliu i ke onaona lima Mahalo i kou nani mâlamalama E beautiful mahealani moon |
Famed is the beauty and
brightness Of the beautiful full moon It was you who bore my love to her And found my sweetheart the choicest of flower My blossom, my wreath, my fragrant one O lovely moonbeam, kiss her for me With you is my love in its entirety O tender leaf bud of the morning To whom I speak softly in tender tones And touch with gentle fingers I admire and thank you beautiful light Oh beautiful full moon |
