- Aia i ke kaona ku`u lei kiele
- Kui `ia e ka ua Kükalahale

-
-
- I lei ho`ohie no nei kino
- Linohau ka wahine me ka hiehie
-
-
-
- Nohea ke `ala ma ku`u poli
- He nani mae `ole kau i ka lâ
-
-
-
- Ahiahi nâ pua i ka wëkiu
- Koe mai ke `ala he aloha
-
-
-
- Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
- Lei aloha, lei kiele kau i ka hano

- My dearest gardenia is in
town
- Being strung by the
Kükalahale rain
-
-
-
- An elegant lei for this
person
- The lady is beautifully dressed
and adorned
-
-
-
- The fragrance is delightful at
my bosom
- A beauty unfading even in the
sun
-
-
-
- The blossoms spend the evening
in the heights
- The fragrance remains, a
beloved
-
-
-
- Tell the refrain
- Beloved lei, gardenia lei set
in glory
