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
