- I have beheld with my own
eyes
- The beauty of that
blossom
- A flower cherished by me
alone
- Imbued with fragrance
-
- Mine to string until
finished
- A lei for me to wear
proudly
- Lei lokelani,
- Beloved lei, cherished
lei
-
- Behold the beauty of my
land
- Unrivaled in adornments
- Oh great Maui of
Kamälälawalu
- Home of the blossoms
-
- You are famous, O Maui
- For the bays of Pi`ilani
- Majestic Haleakalä
- In the east
