Aloha ʻOe
Ka melokia a me ka hua mele: Kuīni Lili'uokalani
Ha’aheo e ka ua i nā pali
Ke nihi a’ela i ka nahele
E hahai paha i ka liko
Pua ‘āhihi lehua o uka
CHORUS:
Aloha ‘oe, aloha ‘oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace
A ho’i a’e au
Until we meet again
Goodbye to you
Music and lyrics: Queen Lili'uokalani
The rain falls gently by the cliff
And quietly brushes through the forest
It falls into the buds of the flower
The Lehua Flower of the vale.
[Chorus:]
Goodbye, goodbye to you
Oh sweet and gentle one living in the distance
One fond embrace
I am leaving
Until we meet again
