Sanoe

'Auhea 'oe e Sanoe

Ho'opulu liko ka lehua

Eia ho'i au

Ke kali nei i ka leo

'O ka pane wale mai nō

'Olu wau mehe wai ala

Honehone mehe ipo ala

Paila i ka nui kino

E kala neia kino

I piliwi ai i laila

Pehea e hiki ai?

E kō ai'o ka mana'o?

Ke hea mai nei Water Lily

E ao mai'oe iā kāua

Eia a'e nō 'o Pelo

Manu 'āha'I 'ōlelo

Lohe aku nei nā kuhina nui

A he 'ahahui ko Loma

Ke 'oni a'ela i luna

E like me Likelike

Where are you, Sanoe

You who dampens the young lehua leaf buds

Here I am

Waiting for your voice

With just your response

I am content like a water's flow

Attuned to the sweet sound as if

from a sweetheart

That tingles throughout my person

My entire being has so long

Believed in what is there

How can it come to be?

How can my wishes come to pass?

Water Lily is calling

For you to be watchful over us

Here comes Pelo

A bird who spreads the news

The great leaders have heard

And Rome has its own association

It moves skyward
