Lyrics: Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. Henehene Kou 'aka.

[Hawaiian]

Henehene kou 'aka
Kou le'ale'a paha
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

Ka'a uila makeneki
Ho'onioni kou kino
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

I Kaka'ako makou
'Ai ana i ka pipi stew
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

I Waikiki makou
'Au ana i ke kai
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

I Kapahulu makou
'Ai ana i ka lipo'a
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

Ha'ina mai ka puana
Kou le'ale'a paha
He mea ma'a mau ia
For you and I

[English]

Your laughter is so contagious
It's fun to be with you
Always a good time
For you and I

The streetcar wheels turn
Vibrating your body
Always a good time
For you and I

To Kaka'ako we go
Eating beef stew
Always a good time
For you and I

To Waikiki we go
Swimming in the sea
Always a good time
For you and I

To Kapahulu we go
Eating seaweed
Always a good time
For you and I

Tell the refrain
It's fun to be with you
Always a good time
For you and I
