'Awaiāulu la ke aloha
No ku'u ipo
Hanu lipo o ka 'awapuhi
Ginger blossom onaona

E pā aheahe malie 'oe
Nahenahe ka pilina nei
Aia ho'i ku'u milimili
Sweet 'awapuhi

Miki'oi ke kui 'ia ana ika lei
Kau po'ohiwi
Mea ho'o hiwahiwa no ke aloha
He 'ala onaona kou

Ha'ina mai ana ka puana
No ku'u ipo
Me au 'oe a mau loa
Ginger Blossom onaona

My sweet 'awapuhi e

Love is bound
To the sweetheart
Inhale the ginger
Fragrant ginger blossom

You are soft and gentle
A sweet relationship
Come my beloved
Sweet ginger

Neat and strong the lei
Placed on the shoulder
To honor with love
Your lovely fragrance

Tell the refrain
My sweetheart
You and me forever
Fragrant ginger blossom

My sweet ginger
