English lyrics: Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs, as it glided through the trees,

Still following ever the bud, the ‘ahihi lehua of the vale.

Chorus: Farewell to thee, farewell to thee, the charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers

One fond embrace, ‘ere I depart, until we meet again.

Other verses:

“Oka hali’a aloha I hiki mai, (Sweet memories come back to me)

Ke hone a’e nei i , Ku’u manawa (Bring fresh remembrances of the past)

‘O ‘oe no 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)

Na pua rose o Maunawili (The sweet rose of Maunawili)

I Laila hia’ia na manu (And ‘tis there the birds of love dwell)

Miki’ala I ka nani o ka liko (And sip the honey from your lips)

Hui (Chorus)
