Aloha 'Oe

Aloha ‘Oe

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
