E kuʻu lei, e kuʻu lei
Lei aloha naʻu, lei makamae
Eia au ke kali nei
Hoʻi mai kāua, hoʻi mai e pili.
Ko aloha kaʻu, ko aloha kaʻu
E hiʻi poi nei, hiʻi poi mau no
Nā kau a kau, nā kau a kau
Nou hoʻokahi, nā liʻa a loko
Āhea lā ʻoe, maliu mai
E kuʻu lei, e kuʻu lei
Makamae
Hoʻi mai kāua e pili

yearning

Your love is

Heed my prayer
Beloved
My precious one
