LYRICS:
Ku wale mai no, ka huila wai 
A`ohe wai `iau, E nini u ai 
(Repeat) 

Hale ani ani ku, maui `oe no 
He hoa kuka, pu me kaua 
(Repeat) 

Aloha `ia no, `o`i `o lele 
I sa lele ahea, i no ka moana 
(Repeat) 

Aloha `ia no, o Waiohinu 
Ka pali lele wai, a ke ko ae 
(Repeat) 

Mai noho `oe, a ho`o poina 
I kahi pikake, ulu ma`ema`e 

Mai noho `oe, a ho`o poina 
I kahi pikake, ulu ma`ema`e 

Ha`ina `ia mai, ana kapuana 
A`ohe wai ia `u, e niniu ai 

TRANSLATION:

The windmill just stands still 
No water comes swirling up
  
You are a constant reflection of me 
My companion, always conversing with me
 
Beloved indeed is M?l?lele 
When the clouds swirl, the ocean is stormy 
 
Beloved is the koae bird from 
The waterfall of Wai`?hinu
 
Just don't you forget 
This attractive peacock

Tell the refrain 
No water comes swirling up
