Words and Music by Charles King
E ku‘u lei, e ku‘u lei Beloved one, beloved
Lei aloha na‘u, lei makamae To me you are precious, a precious lei
Eia au ke kali nei Here I wait, my heart yearning
Ho‘i mai kāua, ho‘i mai e pili Come my love, let us be together
Ko aloha ka‘u (ko aloha ka‘u) Your love is mine (your love is mine)
E hi‘ipoi nei It is what I cherish
No nā kau a kau, nā kau a kau Always and forever, always and forever
Nou ho‘okahi nā li‘a a loko You are my one desire
Āhea lā ‘oe maliu mai When will heed my plea ?
E ku‘u lei (e ku‘u lei) makamae Oh, beloved one, my precious
Ho‘i mai kāua e pili Let us be together again
