He wehi kēia no ku‘u pua
Milimili na ka ua Kūkalahale
Hālāwai ka mana‘o me Pauahilani
Ka ‘imina i ka pono no nā kama lei
Ua ana i ka loa o ‘Āina‘ike
Kūkulu kauhale a Limaloa
Nāu i ho‘olana me ka wiwo ‘ole
He aloha lāhui i ka umauma
E ō e ka wehi pua laha ‘ole
Kou inoa ‘a‘ala, ‘o Kauluwena
A song of adornment for my flower
Tenderly caressed by the Kūkalahale rain
My thoughts have gone to meet Pauahilani
Seeking goodness for her beloved children
We have assessed the breadth of ‘Āina‘ike
And built shelters like Limaloa’s
You have fearlessly brought hope and encouragement
Carrying the love for your people in your heart
Respond, my special flower
To your fragrant name, Kauluwena
