- I waiho `ao`ao mai nei `ea `ea
- Maika`i kulana hale he pili
- `A`ohe mea hana a`o loko `ea `ea

- Kau aku i lio Hawai`i
- Ke `ami i ka lina poepoe `ea `ea
- Kau aku i lioo Kaleponi
- Ho`onui kailina o ka pono `ea `ea

- Ku me ka ma`a i ke one
- Pilipu ka`ili ka moena `ea `ea
- Ua anu ka pua o ka hale wili
- Ka wahine noho la`i i ke kula `ea `ea

- Luaole i ka hana ka hale wili
- Ku1u lei i wainapanapa maika`i `ea `ea
- Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana
- Ke holo a`e nei kahi neki `ea `ea

- Some bulrush is travelling
along
- And has stopped to the side of
me
- It has a fine appearance, good
enough for a pili house
- There is nothing left to do
about it

- Mount upon a Hawaiian
horse
- And you go around in
circles
- Mount upon a California horse
- And your estate
increases
-
-
-
- Appearing accustomed to the
sand
- And the association with the
surface of the ocean
- Is made cold the flower of the
mill
- Its woman reposing calmly in
the uplands
-
-
-
- Unsurpasssed is the work of the
mill
- My wreath that is well
twisted
- The refrain is told
- Of the bulrush travelling
hither
