Roland Cazimero (of the Brothers Cazimero) and Mel Amina (Iz's cousin) lend support on guitar but stay in the background, with the hand-held camera focusing on Iz for most of the concert.
`Auhea iho nei o Lei aloha
Ku`u hoa i ka nani a`o nâ pua


Eia mai au `o suipa lilo
Ka ipo i ke aka pua aniani


He aniani wale `o hâli`a loko
Nowelo mao `ole i ka pu`uwai


Nâ wai nô `oe e a pakele aku
I ka wai o ka pânini pua kea


Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ku`u ipo i ka nani a`o nâ pua
WHITE CACTUS FLOWER
Where has Leialoha gone?
My companion amid the beautiful flowers


Here am I, "Sweep-all-to-myself"
Your sweetheart in the shadow of fair flowers


Well known is my heart's turmoil
As love stirs ceaselessly in my heart


How can you escape its influence
After tasting the honey of the white flowered cactus


This is the end of my song
Of my sweetheart among the beautiful flowers
