BUTTERFLIES, butterflies,
Now fly away to the blossoms.
Fly, blue-wing,
Fly, yellow-wing,
Now fly away to the blossoms.
Fly, red-wing,
Fly, white-wing,
Now fly away to the blossoms.
Butterflies, away!
Butterflies, butterflies,
Now fly away to the blossoms,
Butterflies, away!

I-O-HO waitilanni
I-o-ho waitilanni
Tzi washo iyani-i
Yuweh puniakoekolika
Yuweh haniakoekolika
Tzi washo iyani-i
I-o-ho waitilanni
I-o-ho waitilanni
Tzi washo iyani-i.

I-O-HO, wonder-water,
I-o-ho, wonder-water,
Life anew to him who drinks!
Look where southwest clouds are bringing rain;
Look where southeast clouds are bringing rain!
Life anew to him who drinks!
I-o-ho, wonder-water,
I-o-ho, wonder-water,

Life anew to him who drinks!
