Lyrics

Ē kuʻu lei, ē kuʻu lei
Lei aloha naʻu, lei makamae
Eia au, ke kali nei
Hoʻi mai kāua, hoʻi mai e pili

Kou aloha kaʻu (kou aloha kaʻu)
E hiʻipoi nei (hiʻipoi mau nō)
Nā kau ā kau (nā kau ā kau)
Nou hoʻokahi, nā liʻa a loko
Āhea lā ʻoe, maliu mai

Ē kuʻu lei (ē kuʻu lei)
Makamae
Hoʻi mai kāua e pili


Beloved one, beloved of mine
To me you’re precious, I adore only you
Alone I wait, my heart is yearning
Come my love, abide with me

The nights are long
The days are gray
The sunshine of your smile, I miss
No other one can cheer and comfort me
Heed my prayer and return to me, fair one

Come to my arms
Beloved
I know that you are true to me
