Lyrics: Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. Ka Pua U'i.

[Hawaiian]

Aloha wau ia 'oe ku'uipo
Ku'u lei momi ku'u milimili
O ka heka 'oe ona pua
O ke kupuna a'e hi'i poi nei

Hau'oli ka mana'o ke 'ike aku
Kou maka palupalu e ke aloha
He aloha i pili ia ika pu'uwai
Ahe lei hi'ehi'e na ka makua

Puana ka inoa o ku'uipo
Ku'u lei nani lei maka mae
He nohea oe i ku'u maka
E ka pua u'i oe o na lani

[English]

I love you, my sweetheart
A lei of pearls to caress
You are the choice flower
Cherished by grandparents

Joyful thoughts
Your gentle loving eyes
Bring love close to the heart
A lei, the delight of your parents

Tell again the name-song of my sweetheart
A treasured and beautiful lei
You are loveliness in my sight
You are a beautiful flower of the heavens
