He punahele nô `oe
Nâ ka makua
Pûlama `ia no `oe
Me ke aloha
He wahine u`i
A he pua nani
Ma ku`u poli mai `oe
Ku`u lei
You are a beautiful baby
Pride of my heart
You are a dear little lady
Right from the start
You`re so sweet and lovely
- Like a pretty flower
- Close to my bosom I'll hold you
- Baby mine
