E Kawaipunahele
For you my Kawaipunahele
My never-fading lei
Never seperated, firmly united
Come, let's go back
O Kawaipunahele
You stand majestically
In the spleanor of Wailuku
My cherrished sweetheart
My adornment of the night
Come, let's go back, O Kawaipunahele
Here is Keali'i
Waiting in lonliness
I am lonley, I hurt
Come, let's go back
O Kawaipunahele
Tell of the love,
of my never-ending lei
Never seperating, firmly united
O Kawaipunahele
