Kou Maka U`i - by Henry Makua, Sr.

Hali`a au, i kou maka u`i, ea
E lilo ana oe, iloko o ku`u pu`uwai


Aloha au, i kou maka palu palu, ea
E huli hele nei, me ka aloha poina`ole


Auhea oe, me kou maka onaona, ea
E ho`i mai oe, a noho me i`au e pili


Ha`ina mai ana ka puana, ea
I lilo ana oe, i ku`u pu`uwai pumehana

I adore, your pretty eyes dear
You'll be mine to cherish in my bosom


Your charming eyes, so soft
Searching for my return with everlasting love


Where are you with your naughty eyes
Return to me, with me to stay always


Thus ends my song my pretty eyes
For you'll be mine along in my heart
