The woman dwells in the cold of Mânâ
Admiring the lovely beauty of the forest
Long live, Pauahi, the heavenly one
To extreme old age
Long live, Pauahi, the heavenly one
Live until she reaches the highest place
She has seen the fragrant bowers of Puna
And has worn leis of maile of Pana`ewa
But her love returns to multitudes
Of her birthplace, the home in the town

Noho ana ka wahine i ke anu o Mânâ
Mahalo i ka nani nohea o ka nahele
E ola `o Kalani e Pauahi lani nui
A kau i ka pua `ane`ane
E ola `o Kalani e Pauahi lani nui
E ola loa nô a kau i ka wêkiu
Ua `ike i na paia `a`ala ho`i o Puna
Ua lei na maile a`o Pana`ewa ho`i
Ho`i ana no na`e ke aloha i na kini
I ke one hanau i ka home i ke kaona^
