- I kumu pali wewehi
- Kau ai ka maka iä `oe

- `Opu`u mai ka hïnano ëhë
- A möhala i ka nahele
- He lalilahi ka lihi
- I ka ua Pö`aihale

- He nani ka pua hïnano
- He wehi no `Ähuimanu
- Kau ku`u maka iä `oe

- The hïnano is a flower of
great beauty
- There above
`Ähuimanu
- At the verdant base of the
cliff
- My eyes are drawn to you
-
-
- The hïnano bud
emerges
- And blooms there in the
forest
- The sheaths are smooth and
glossy
- In the swirling Pö`aihale
rain
-
-
- The hïnano is so very
fragrant
- An aroma carried on the trade
wind
- So stirring to the
thoughts
- Is that sweet scent you
exude
-
-
- Hear me, my dear
hïnano
- Let your snowy pollen scatter
down
- So the night shall be
perfumed
- You and I shall enjoy our
repose
-
-
- Let the story be told
- The hïnano is a flower of
great beauty
- An adornment for
`Ähuimanu
- My eye is fixed on you
