Ilihia wale au i kou leo lā
I ka pane ‘ana mai, pehea au?

I laila ku‘u ‘upu i ku‘u hali‘a ‘ana
E ho‘i kāua lā e pili

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
‘O ‘oe ku‘u lei pili hemo ‘ole

I am enchanted by your voice
As you respond saying, “how am I?”

My fond recollection is there
Let us be together again

Tell the refrain
You are my beloved, inseparable
