He Nohea `Oe I Ku`u Maka - Words & music by Charles E. King

Ua like no ho`i `oe a like
Me ka `ôpua hiki ahiahi
A hiki mai la no ho`i `oe
Maha `ela nei pu`uwai pu`uwai

Puana:
He nohea `oe i ku`u maka
A he mea milimili na ku`u lima ku`ulima
He `ano`ai hem`ole `oe na`u
He aloha no na kau a kau na kau a kau
He no kau na kau a kau

Kohu wai mâpunapuna la
Ko aloha i o`u nei o`u nei
E kakali no au a nau e ki`i mai
Aloa`a i ke aheahe a ka makani ka makani

 You are just like the horizon clouds
That appear in the evening
And when you come
This heart is appeased

Refrain:
You are lovely to my eyes
A person for me to fondle
A loved one never to be parted from me
One to be loved from season to season
From season to season

Your love to me
Is like an over-bubbling spring
I will wait until you come to seek me
Where the gentle wind blows
