Aloha `Oe E Ku`u Lei - Words & music by Charles E. King

He nohea `oe i ku`u maka
A he milimili na ku`u lima
He `ano`ai hemo `ole ole na`u
He aloha `oe no na kau a kau

Hui:
Aloha `oe e ku`u lei
Ku`u pua ia puîa i ke `ala
Hi`ipoi `ia iho ke aloha o kâua
Aloha makamae i ka pu`uwai


 You are lovely in my eyes
A treasure to be fondled
A loved one never to be separated from
A dear one from season to season

Chorus:
Beloved, you are my lei
A flower lei imbued with fragrance
Do treasure our love
A love precious to the heart
