ʻO ka hope pō a me ka hōkū ʻālohilohi (Nachtflosse und Funkelstern - Hawaiian version)
A cinematic Hawaiian-style love theme opens with airy female vocals over gentle ukulele, joined by soft Hawaiian drums and subtly detuned, spherical percussion. Emotional piano and vocals build into a sweeping chorus with lush strings and soft Hawaiian guitar, emotional transitions, then resolves with a return to the intimate ukulele and vocal motif.

Verse 1
I loko o ke kai, kahi e pio ai ka mālamalama a pau,
ʻAuʻau ke koa, ikaika, akā ʻike ʻole.
ʻEleʻele kona mau unahi e like me ka pō,
Akā, ʻimi ʻo ia i ka mea e hoʻāla ai i kona puʻuwai.
Mehameha ʻo ia, i kēlā me kēia pō.
Verse 2
Hoku ʻālohilohi, pena ʻo ia me kona mau lima,
Nā moʻolelo e hoʻopau i ka pōʻeleʻele.
ʻAlohilohi kāna mau kiʻi, hula manuahi i ke kai,
Akā, mehameha nō hoʻi ʻo ia.
No laila kaʻawale, kaumaha loa, i ke kai
Chorus
Nightfin, ʻaʻole ʻoe wale nō,
Aia kekahi hōkū me ʻoe i ka hohonu.
A hui pū mākou e ʻālohilohi, ʻālohilohi a maopopo
E ʻimi i ka maluhia ma kahi o ka mehameha ma mua.
ʻO ka hōkū ʻālohilohi, ke kāhea nei ʻo ia iā ʻoe
Verse 3
I ka hāmau i ka wā e haki ai ka ʻino,
E pena i ko lakou mau lima me ka manaolana a me ka malamalama.
ʻO kona mau maka e hoʻomaopopo i ka ʻeha,
I ka ʻike ʻana i ko lākou naʻau e wili.
ʻŌlelo kona mālamalama iā ia!
Verse 4
ʻElua ʻuhane, ma ka pōʻeleʻele lākou e neʻe ai,
E ʻimi i ka mālamalama ke hoʻopā kekahi i kekahi.
I ka hohonu, mamao loa mai kekahi manawa,
ʻElua puʻuwai no ke ao pau ʻole.
ʻO ko lākou naʻau, hīmeni i ka manawa
Chorus
Nightfin, ʻaʻole ʻoe wale nō,
Aia kekahi hōkū me ʻoe i ka hohonu.
A hui pū mākou e ʻālohilohi, ʻālohilohi a maopopo
E ʻimi i ka maluhia ma kahi o ka mehameha ma mua.
ʻO ka hōkū ʻālohilohi, ke kāhea nei ʻo ia iā ʻoe
Bridge
Ke haʻalulu ka moana a nahā ka hāmau,
E hopu kākou i ka mea e hoʻopili ai iā kākou i ka mālamalama.
ʻElua puʻuwai hakakā, akā ʻaʻole hoʻokahi wale nō
No ka mea, ʻo ʻoe a ʻo wau, e lilo mākou i hoʻokahi.
Hoʻokahi mākou, ʻo ʻoe a me aʻu!
Chorus
Nightfin, ʻaʻole ʻoe wale nō,
Aia kekahi hōkū me ʻoe i ka hohonu.
A hui pū mākou e ʻālohilohi, ʻālohilohi a maopopo
E ʻimi i ka maluhia ma kahi o ka mehameha ma mua.
ʻO ka hōkū ʻālohilohi, ke kāhea nei ʻo ia iā ʻoe
Outro
Ma lalo o ka nalu, hohonu i ke kai,
E ʻimi kāua a hoʻōki i ka neʻe ʻana.
No ka mea, ʻaʻole hiki i ka pōʻeleʻele ke hoʻokaʻawale iā mākou,
E ʻā mau ko mākou kukui.
Ua wela ko mākou kukui a mau loa aku!
Ending
Hoku ʻālohilohi, aia wau me ʻoe,
ʻAʻohe ʻino e mālama iā mākou i kēia manawa.
ʻElua puʻuwai, hoʻokahi ma ke kai hohonu
ʻO ko mākou ʻuhane, ʻaʻole e nele hou.
Aole hou
