[Verse 1]
Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the Liko
The ʻĀhihi Lehua of the vale
[Chorus]
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwells in shaded bowers
One fond embrace e'er I depart
Until we meet again
[Verse 2]
Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art my own
From thee true love, shall nе'er depart
[Chorus]
Farewеll to thee, farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwells in shaded bowers
One fond embrace e'er I depart
Until we meet again
[Verse 3]
I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thou sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips
[Chorus]
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwells in shaded bowers
One fond embrace e'er I depart
Until we meet again
