Aia Le`ahi, `uhe`uhene
Kaimana Hila, `uhe`uhene
Hoku kau `ale kai a`o Mamala
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Malama pono `oe, uheuhene
I ka poe pele, `uhe`uhene
`O ili kaua la ilaila
**`O ili kaua i ka puko`a
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
`O ka po`e kaulana, `uhe`uhene
Kau i ka nuku, `uhe`uhene
Nana a`o ho`owale nei i ka moana
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Ha`awi ke aloha, `uhe`uhene
Lulu lima, `uhe`uhene
Me na huapala maka onaona
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Kau aku `oe, `uhe`uhene
I ke ka`api`o, `uhe`uhene
Pa ana ka uwepa kiani
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Kupaianaha, `uhe`uhene
Kahi kalaiwa, `uhe`uhene
Ka lawe no a kiki`i pau
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Ha'ina `ia, `uhe`uhene
Mai ka puana, `uhe`uhene
O ka poe kaulana kau i ka nuku
`Uhe`uhene
 
 
Ha'ina `ia, `uhe`uhene
Mai ka puana, `uhe`uhene
Goodbye kaua e ke aloha
`Uhe`uhene

There is Leahi
Diamond Head
Rising star of Mamala
(song exclamation)
 
 
Watch out
For the bell buoy
Coming to view by the reef
**alternate stanza
(song exclamation)
 
 
The festive crowd
Stands at the harbor mouth
Just looking at the ocean
(song exclamation)
 
 
Give love
Shake hands
Sweetheart with the gentle eyes
(song exclamation)
 
 
You ride
In the carriage
And use the whip
(song exclamation)
 
 
Reckless
The way you drive
Almost tilting as we go
(song exclamation)
 
 
Told is
The story
The festive crowd at the mouth of the harbor
(song exclamation)
 
 
Told is
The story
Both of us say goodbye with love
(song exclamation)
