- Ua like nô a like
- Me ka ua kani lehua
- Me he ala e `i mai ana
- Aia i laila ke aloha

- Hui:
- `O `oe nô ka`u i `upu ai
- Ku`u lei hiki ahiahi
- `O ke kani a nâ manu
- I nâ hola o ke aumoe

- A nâu nô au e `imi a`e

He moani ka`u i honi
`Oiai eia i ka midnight
Me na kipona waianuhea
Ka ma`alo a`e i ku`u maka

- It is like the rain
- That produces the lehua
blossom
- It
seems to be saying
- "Love is there"
-
- Chorus:
- You are the one I'm thinking of
- My beloved who comes in the evening
- When the song of the birds are heard
- And when night has fallen
-
- That you and I are here together
- With a love that binds us both
- So let me go to seek you
- Where the gentle breezes blow
I smell a wind borne perfume
Here at midnight
With other subtle odors
That pass before me
