Pearly shells, (pearly shells)

From the ocean, (from the ocean)

Shining in the sun, (shining in the sun)

Covering the shore, (covering the shore)

When I see them, (when I see them,)

My heart tells me that I love you,

More than all those little pearly shells.

More than all those little pearly shells.

Tacet:

For every grain of sand upon the beach,

I've got a kiss for you,

I've got more left over for each star,

That twinkles in the blue

Pupu (a 'o 'Ewa) ika nuku- (naka naka)

E naue mai-- (a 'e ike) ika mea hou-(oka aina)

Ahe aina-- (ua kaulana) mai na kupuna mai

Ala hele puuloa he ala hele no ka au pahau

Ala hele puuloa he ala no ka au pahau (pearly shells)
