All the words
Haaheo ka ua ina pali
Ke nihi aela ka nahele
E hahai ana i ka liko,
Pua Ahihi lehua o uka
Aloha oe,
aloha oe,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
A fond embrace a hoi ae
au,
Until we meet again.Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still foll'wing ever the liko,
The Ahihi lehua of the vale
Farewell to thee,
farewell to thee,
Thou charming one who dwells in shaded bow'rs
One fond embrace e'er I depart,
Until we meet again.
