‘Auhea wale ‘oe e ku‘u lei
Ka‘u i hi‘ialo ai
‘Auhea wale ‘oe e ku‘u lei
Ka‘u mea lani i aloha ‘ia

E ku‘u lei, e ku‘u lei
Ka‘u i hānai ai
E ku‘u lei, e ku‘u lei
E ō mai i ka leo heahea

E ō e ka makua, ka makua aloha ē
Nāu nō i hi‘ialo mai
E ō e ka makua, ka makua aloha ē
Iā ‘oe nō e pili mau ai

E ka makua, e ka makua
E pa‘a mau i ka poli
E ka makua, e ka makua
E pane au i ka leo heahea

Listen my child
The one whom I carried
Listen my child
My beloved from Heaven

My child, my child
Whom I raised
My child, my child
Answer my call

Here Father, loving Father
You indeed carried me
Here Father, loving Father
I will always be close to you

Father, Father
You will always be here in my bosom
Father, Father
I will answer your call
