For you Kawaipunahele
My never fading lei
Never separated, firmly united
Come, let's go back
O Kawaipunahele

You stand majestically
In the splendor of Wailuku
My cherished sweetheart, my adornment of the night
Come, let's go back
O Kawaipunahele

Here is Kealiʻi
Waiting in loneliness
I am lonely, I hurt
Come, letʻs go back
O Kawaipunahele

Tell of the love
Of my never-fading lei
Never separated, firmly united
When it's right, we'll go back
O Kawaipunahele
