| This is the night of
love
The shining hour of
Kalua
Her song is in the air
Her lips are waiting
there
Who will be Kalua's only
love?
Before the night is old
My (his) arms will hold
Kalua
And where the tradewinds
blow
Soft and low (soft and
lowOur love will blossom
bright
In the night (in the
night)
And stars will sing
above
The love song of Kalua
This is my night of love
This is the hour of
Kalua
My arms are open now
My heart has spoken now
Who will be Kalua's only
love?
Before the night is old
My arms will hold, Kalua
My beating heart is true
Wanting you (wanting
you)
Your beating heart I see
Wanting me (wanting me)
And now my song is through
I give to you, Kalua
