The hinano is a flower of great beauty There above 'Ahuimanu At the verdant base of the cliff The eyes are drawn to you The hinano bud emerges And blooms there in the forest The sheaths are smooth and glossy In the swirling Po'aihale rain The hinano is so very fragrant An aroma carried on the trade wind So stirring to the thoughts Is that sweet scent you exude Hear me, my dear hinano Let your snowy pollen scatter down So the night shall be perfumed You and I shall enjoy our respose Let the story be told The hinano is a flower of great beauty An adornment for 'Ahuimanu My eye is fixed on you
