Kui: 
One paddle, two paddle, three paddle, 
Four to take me home 
Fourteen on the right, fourteen on the left, 
Take me to Hawaii nei, no ka best. 
  
  
  
I went away a long time 
Such a long time, a long time ago 
Seen enough cities to last a lifetime 
Goin' away no more 
  
  
  
I want to smell the fowers, 
The sweet flowers when the trade winds blow 
Seen enough fences to last a lifetime 
Goin' away no more 
  
  
  
Yes, take me to my lover 
My fair lover, I left long ago 
Felt enough sorrow to last a lifetime 
Goin' away no more
