Hui:
E awaiāulu i ke aloha
I kou pili hemo ʻole i ke kau
ʻO ka hana ʻana ia ua pono
Pono ʻoe pono pū hoʻi kāua
E ke aloha e maliu mai ʻoe
Eia hoʻi au ke kali aku nei
ʻO ka ʻike ua noa kāu hana
He nani ka ʻiʻini puʻuwai
Hiki mai ana ke aloha
Kau mai ana ka haliʻa
Hoʻolāʻau mai ana iaʻu
E hoʻi māua e pili
ʻO kāu mau ʻupu ʻana
Kāu i hoʻokō ai
E ka manawa i hiki mai
Pono ʻoe pono pū ho'i kāua
Mali ʻia iho ka houpo
Ka liʻa a loko hoʻi
ʻŌmau ʻia iho a paʻa
I mau ke koʻiʻi a loko |
Chorus:
Bind your love tightly
Never to be severed over
time
Doing all that is proper
So that you and I prosper
together
My love, listen to me
For here I am, waiting
I know that you are
willing
How lovely is the heart's
desire
When love comes
The fond memory arises
Constantly urging me
We two should be back
together
All passions
Come to fulfillment
When the time comes
You're satisfied, we`re
satisfied together
The heart is soothed
Slowed within
Fastened securely
To continue the desire
within |
