Pakalana na`u ho`okahi `oe
Kou hanu ka u`i li`a ne`i lâ


Hui:
E maliu mai ku`u ipo
E maliu mai ku`u ipo
E maliu mai


Ha`ina mai po`ina `ole
Ku`u pua pakalana
Ku`u pua ana`e nei


Ha`ina mai ana ka puana
Ku`u pua ku`u lei pakalana

You are my one and only
My beautiful one, my desired one


Chorus:
I heed the call, my sweetheart
I heed the call, my sweetheart
I heed the call


I won’t forget (you)
My blossom, pakalana
My blossom, your place in heaven is reserved


Tell the refrain
My blossom, my wreath pakalana
