English:
Beautiful is the fragrance
The fragrance of the pi^kake
The mist that accompanies the light rain
And gently moistens the skin
Peaceful is the fragrance
O pikake flower buds
In the mist of fine rain
In the happy sound of water over stones
(alternate stanza)
Chorus:
Cold am I and throbbing
In the chilling water
The cold, crystal water
I'll remember you
My love for the tuberose (`ilima) flower
Windblown perfume to the heart
Rejoicing in the nectar of the flower
The mist and fine rain
In the hills of Ka^`ilikahi
The most beautiful flower bud
A patch of rainbow water
