LYRICS:
Ku wale mai no, ka huila wai 
A`ohe wai `iau, E nini u ai 
(Repeat) 

Hale ani ani ku, maui `oe no 
He hoa kuka, pu me kaua 
(Repeat) 

Aloha `ia no, `o`i `o lele 
I sa lele ahea, i no ka moana 
(Repeat) 

Aloha `ia no, o Waiohinu 
Ka pali lele wai, a ke ko ae 
(Repeat) 

Mai noho `oe, a ho`o poina 
I kahi pikake, ulu ma`ema`e 

Mai noho `oe, a ho`o poina 
I kahi pikake, ulu ma`ema`e 

Ha`ina `ia mai, ana kapuana 
A`ohe wai ia `u, e niniu ai 

TRANSLATION:

The windmill just stands still 
No water comes swirling up
  
You are a constant reflection of me 
My companion, always conversing with me
 
Beloved indeed is M�l�lele 
When the clouds swirl, the ocean is stormy 
 
Beloved is the koae bird from 
The waterfall of Wai`�hinu
 
Just don't you forget 
This attractive peacock

Tell the refrain 
No water comes swirling up
