Kûmaka ka `ikena iâ Hi`ilawe
Ka papa lohi mai a`o Maukele

All eyes are on Hi'ilawe
In the sparkling lowlands of Maukele
 
Pakele mai au i ka nui manu
Hau wala`au nei puni Waipi`o

I have not been trapped by the gossip
Chattering everywhere in Waipi'o
 
`A`ole nô wau e loa`a mai
A he uhiwai au no ke kuahiwi

I am not caught
For I am the mist of the mountains
 
He hiwahiwa au na ka makua
A he lei `â`î na ke kupuna

I am the darling of the parents
And a lei for the necks of the grandparents
 
No Puna ke `ala i hali `ia mai
Noho i ka wailele a`o Hi`ilawe

The fragrance is wafted from Puna
And lives at Hi'ilawe waterfall
 
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Kûmaka ka `ikena iâ Hi`ilawe

Tell the refrain 
All eyes are on Hi'ilawe
