ʻO ka holokū kalakoa lā
Ka muʻumuʻu lima nui
Ka hainakā lei kilika lā
ʻO kona wehi mau ia

ʻO ka humu kapa pohopoho lā
Ka ʻulana i ka pāpale
ʻO ke kui lei pua ʻala lā
A ʻoia kona makemake

Aia ma kona lumi lā
He noho paipai nui
He mea hoʻoluliluli lā
I kāna lei moʻopuna

Haʻina mai ka puana lā
No kuʻu tūtū aloha
E lohe mau ʻia ana lā
Kona leo heahea

I love my grandmother
For her great kindness
She is always heard
Welcoming everyone

A calico holokū
A wide sleeved muʻumuʻu
A silk neckerchief
These she usually wears

Sewing on a patchwork quilt
Weaving a hat
Stringing leis of fragrant flowers
These things she likes to do

Inside her room
Is a big rocking chair
In which she cradles
Her beloved grandchild

So ends my song
Of my dear grandma
Who is always heard
Welcoming everyone
