Good is the wind of Kohala
Known as the drinking water
It is the water that is good for the two of us
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
