He mana`o no ka pua
He pua lei
Lehua mamo o ka uka
He pua laha `ole
 
Hui:
Ohaoha pua
Nolu pe i ka ua
He pua wehiwa
He wehi no ku`u kino
 
`Auhea e ku`u pua
Ku`u pua mae `ole
Lehua o ka `iu
Pili kaua i ka ua
 
Ai ae ku`u pua
Ke kali no ka ua
Pili mai kaua
Ho`alohaloha kaua

I think of my flower sweetheart and yearn for her
A flower sought by many
O mamo-bird lehua blossom of the highlands
You are a flower so rare
 
Chorus:
Flower that thrives
When softened and drenched by the rain
A choice flower
An adornment for my person
 
Hear me, my sweetheart
My flower that never fades
Lehua blossom of the highest order
We will be together in the rain
 
There you are, my flower
Waiting for the rain to come
We are together
We will culminate our love together
