E Kuʻualoha, My Dahling
O ka ua noe o Kōloa
Ko poli ʻala mēlia
Kāhiko i ka nani o ka Malanai
Ua hele wale a ʻohu
I nā lei a Kalehuamakanoe
Lei ʻīlima maʻemaʻe o kauhale
ʻAwapuhi anuhea o ka uka
Ka mea aloha o Makanalani
Me ka pūkonakona o Nāwiliwili
I haʻupu aʻe nei kahi manaʻo
Wai huʻihuʻi o Kemamo
Haʻina ko wehi e Honey
Maka ʻālohilohi aʻo Poʻipū
He ipo lauaʻe no nā kini
O Kauaʻi o Manokalanipō

English Translation:
My Love, Elaine, My Darling
Of the misty rain of Kōloa
Your plumeria scented hugs
Are adorned by the opulence of the Malanai
You are never without flowers in your hair
Or lei from your mother and daughter
The signature lei ʻilima of the compound
And the cool fragrant ginger lei of the uplands
You’re adored by Makanalani
And your mighty groom of Nāwiliwili
I have so many fond memories
Of the chilly waters of Kemamo
Your song is sung, Honey
Blue-eyed Hawaiian of Poʻipū
A sweetheart that everyone knows and loves
Belonging to Kauaʻi of Chief Manokalanipō
