Nani wale ka hi'ona o ka manu lâ
'O ka 'i'iwi maka onaona pôlena lâ
Noho i ka malu lâ'au lâ
Ulunahele pö i ka lehua lâ
Hui:
Ilihia wau i ke 'ala lâ
O ka hanu o Hanakeoki lâ
Punihei ka mana'o ho'ohihi lâ
Hanu 'a'ala o Hanakeoki
Alia 'oe e ka 'amakihi lâ
Manu puapua lenalena lâ
E âlai nei i ka wai lâ
Wai hâlukuluku i ka pali lâ
E inu aku wau i kena lâ
I ka wai lehua a ka manu lâ
Hô iho kâua 'elo'elo lâ
A ho'i a e ho'ola'ila'i lâ
The features of the bird are so beautiful
The sweet-eyed 'i'wi pölena
Dwelling in the shade of the forest
Forest overshadowed with lehua flowers
Chorus:
I am overwhelmed with the fragrance
The scent of Hanakeoki
My thoughts are engulfed
By the sweet scent of Hanakeoki
Wait 'amakihi
Yellow-tailed bird
Obstructing the water
Water rushing noisily upon the cliff
I want to drink the water to quench my thirst
On the bird's lehua nectar
Let's you and I indulge and be drenched
Then return to find contentment
