O ua mau pua lehua I lawe` ia mai no ku`u lani I wili ia me maile lau li`i I ohu i wehi no Kaiulani Me he pûnohu` ula ala i ke kai |

Lei of lehua blossoms Are brought for my princess Entwined with strands of dainty maile Adorned to beautify Kaiulani As a rainbow over the sea Is beautiful to see So is my royal darling Long may you live, Kaiulani Chorus: Come and wear your lei O Kaiulani, Heavenly-one-above Your lei of white lehua Entwined with strands of dainty maile |
