| Haʻaheo e ka ua i nā pali | Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs |
| Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele | As it glided through the trees |
| E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko | Still following ever the bud |
| Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka | The ʻāhihi lehua of the vale |
| Hui: | Chorus: |
| Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe | Farewell to thee, farewell to thee |
| E ke onaona noho i ka lipo | The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers |
| One fond embrace, | One fond embrace, |
| A hoʻi aʻe au | 'Ere I depart |
| Until we meet again | Until we meet again |
| ʻO ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai | Sweet memories come back to me |
| Ke hone aʻe nei i | Bringing fresh remembrances |
| Kuʻu manawa | Of the past |
| ʻO ʻoe nō kuʻu ipo aloha | Dearest one, yes, you are mine own |
| A loko e hana nei | From you, true love shall never depart |
| Tomago: | Refrain?: |
| Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani | I have seen and watched your loveliness |
| Nā pua rose o Maunawili | The sweet rose of Maunawili |
| I laila hiaʻia nā manu | And 'tis there the birds of love dwell |
| Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka liko | And sip the honey from your lips |
| Hui |
Questa sera cercherò nell'armadio una camicia a fiori che alcuni amici mi avevano regalato anni fa in occasione di un loro viaggio alle Hawaii. Era una mia precisa richiesta che mi fa pensare da quanto tempo io desideri andare in Polinesia! Riusciro mai?
Soundtrack: Aloha'Oe- James Last and musical saw
