He nani kou e Venuse You are beautiful, O Venus
E kau ha`aheo nei Resting proudly on high
`Olinolino mai i luna A gleaming light above
O ka maka o ka opua Before the face of the clouds
He mana`o ho`ohali`a An expectant thought comes
Ho`onape ana i ka poli Causing a stir within
I kau ha`i ana mai When you told me
Eia a`e ku`u huapala That my loved one approaches
Ku`u hoa kuikui lima Companion with whom I hold hands
O a pö mahina la`i konane On bright moonlight nights
I ka nehe mai a ke kai Where waves gently wash ashore
Häwanawana i ke one To whisper softly to the sands
Pili `ia me kealoha Together with love, always
I ka ua nui me ka makani In the rains and the winds
Kama ia a pa`a pono Bound securely together
Ua kumu i ka pu`uwai With deep affection in the heart
Ha`ina mai ka puana This ends my song
No ka nani O Venuse Of the beauty of Venus
`Olinolino mai i luna Gleaming high above
I ka maka o ka `öpua Before the face of the clouds
