ALOHA ‘OE - QUEEN LILI’UOKALANI
Ha‘aheo e ka ua i nā pali
Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
Ke nihi a’ela i ka nahele
As it glided through the trees
E uhai ana paha i ka liko
Still following ever the bud
Pua ‘āhihi lehua o uka
The ‘āhihi lehua of the vale
Aloha ‘oe, aloha ‘oe
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace
One fond embrace
A ho‘i a‘e au
E’re I depart
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
‘O ka hali‘a aloha i hiki mai
Sweet memories come back to me
Ke hone a‘e nei i
Bringing fresh remembrances
Ku‘u manawa
Of the past
‘O ‘oe nō ku‘u ipo aloha
Dearest one, yes, you are mine own
A loko e hana nei
From you, true love shall never depart
Maopopo ku‘u ‘ike i ka nani
I have seen and watched your loveliness
Nā pua rose o Maunawili
The sweet rose of Maunawili
I laila hia‘ai nā manu
And ‘tis there the birds of love dwell
Miki‘ala i ka nani o ka liko
And sip the honey from your lips
Aloha ‘oe, aloha ‘oe
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace
One fond embrace
A ho‘i a‘e au
E’re I depart
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
