I Waiolamalama wai lana mālie
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
Molale ke aloha i ka 'ehu mehameha
Hush my līlia
'A'ahuhia ko lihilihi i ke kēhau
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
Poni 'ia me ka maluhia
Hush my līlia
Alia 'oe kou mōhala 'ana mai
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
O 'ale'ale auane'i ka 'ili o ka wai
Hush my līlia
I ke aniani wai iū ala a mī nei
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
'O ia ke aloha ho'omili 'ia e ka mana'o
Hush my līlia
Ma o ka wai hoene ua malu nei kino
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
Ālialia iho 'oe a li'uli'u
Hush my līlia
Hauwanawana kahi leo puana
Ku'u wahi pua 'o ka līlia
Molale ke aloha i ka 'ehu mehameha
Hush my līlia
BE STILL MY WATER LILY
At Waiolamalama where the water is still
There awaits my dear līlia flower
Love is unclouded in the tranquility of morning
Let me soothe you, my līlia
Your petals are adorned with dew
My dear līlia flower
Anointed in peace
Let me soothe you, my līlia
Hasten not to bloom forth
My dear līlia flower
Lest the water's surface be slated with ripples
Let me soothe you, my līlia
In water's reflection you and I are mirrored
My dear līlia flower
And it is this image of love that is cherished
Let me soothe you, my līlia
Due only to the calming voice of the water I know
Peace
My dear līlia flower
Why don't you stay a little while longer
And let me soothe you, my līlia
A soft voice utters the refrain
My dear līlia flower
Love is unclouded in the tranquility of morning
Let me soothe you, my līlia
Love is unclouded in the tranquility of morning.
