Famous water of the land

 

           

Kou aloha, kou aloha ka‘u mea nui

He makana, he makana na ka pu‘uwai

Your love, your love is a great thing to me

A gift, a gift from the heart

He makana, he makana na ka pu‘uwai

Ha‘aheo ka hau i ka mauna

Kāhiko i ka ‘ohu o ka nahele

E ka ‘oni mai nei lilinoe

I ka ‘ohu noe i ke kuahiwi

Proud is the hau of the mountain

Adorned over by the mist of the forest

The mist moves about

 The misty rain enshrouds the mountains

 

Kou aloha, kou aloha ka‘u mea nui 

He makana, he makana na ka pu‘uwai 

Your love, your love is a great thing to me

A gift, a gift from the heart

 

 Kou aloha, kou aloha ka‘u mea nui

He makana, he makana na ka pu‘uwai

Your love, your love is a great thing to me

A gift, a gift from the heart
