I laila i nā pali ʻike ai
Ka wailele ʻo Nuʻuanu
E hoʻokahe pau ʻole
He wai nō ia e iho ai
E ka’aka’a kou maka e ʻike ai
Ke kahe nei ka wailele pahihi
ʻOle mai nō
He kahe mau nō ia

There on the cliffs can be seen
The waterfall of Nu`uanu
It never stops flowing
It just keeps coming down
The waterfall is flowing
It keeps on flowing
Never locked
It flows forever
