Ku`u Hoaloha - Victor Kala


`O `oe no ka`u i aloha ia
Kou aloha, aloha nui
Pau `ole a ka makemake

Kipa mai nâ hoaloha me nâ malihini
Ho`olauna me ke aloha
Kou aloha no ka mea nui

I laila ho`i au i ku`u `ike ana
I ka nani `oia home
Ke kû nei me ka hanohano

Pâ mai ka makani o ke ahiahi
Me ka ua kulukulu
Ka lihilihi o ke aumoe

Ha`ina e ka wehi ua lohe `ia
Kou aloha, aloha nui
I pau `ole o ka makemake


You are the one I`m fond of
Your aloha, great aloha
Is endless for those you like

Friends and strangers come visiting
Introducing themselves with aloha
Your aloha is the main thing

There I went to see
The beauty of this home
That is so honored

The wind of the evening blows
And the rain falls
At the edge of the night

Tell the song of honor, let everyone hear about
Your love, great love
That is endless for those you like
