Uluhua uluhua wale au
Iâ mahina kau ahiahi
E kau a`ela i luna lâ
`Ike pono `ia ka pae `ôpua
Hui:
He aloha lâ he aloha
He aloha ku`u lei hinahina
E lei `ia maila e ka `u`a lâ
E ka mâ`uka`uka hoe hewa
I hewa nô iâ `oe lâ
I kou `âwihi maka `ana mai
`Ike `ia e ka mea waiwai lâ
Pi`i e ke kai i kumu pali
English Translation:
Anger arises within me
Like the moon rising in the evening
Up there high above
The banks of billowing clouds are plainly seen
Chorus:
Beloved, beloved indeed
Beloved is my hinahina lei
Now being worn by someone who is useless
Who can't even paddle a canoe
You were wrong by flirting
And winking your eye at me
I saw and was worthy of your attention
My anger thrashes like the sea against the cliff
