panini pua kea

'auhea iho nei o lei aloha

ku'u hoa i ka nani a'o na pua

eia mai au 'o suipa lilo

ka ipo i ke aka pua aniani

he aniani wale 'o hali'a loko

nowelo mao 'ole i ka pu'uwai

na wai no 'oe e a pakele aku

i ka wai o ka panini pua kea

ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

ku'u ipo i ka nani a'o na pua

where has leialoha gone?

my companion amid the beautiful flowers

here am i

sweep-all-to-myself"
