Lyrics

Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae
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
