E Ku`u Lei E Ku`u Ipo - Kalei Kaluna

 

E ku`u lei, e ku`u ipo
Ke aloha i milia `ia
Ke aloha i milia `ia
Ke `ala onaona

With you in my heart
When you're in my arms
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me darling one
You are the only one

Lei `ia mai, lei `ia `oe
Ku`u ipo ho`oheno
Ku`u ipo ho`oheno
Po`ina `ole ia

With you in my heart
When you're in my arms
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me, darling one
You are the only one

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ku`u ipo ho`oheno
Ku`u ipo ho`oheno
Po`ina ole ia

Ha`ina ia mai ana ka puana
Ke aloha i milia `ia
Ke aloha i milia `ia
Ke `ala onaona

My wreath, my sweetheart
My beloved
My beloved
So alluring


With you in my heart
When you're in my arms
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me darling one
You are the only one

Sweetheart, come, you are
My cherished sweetheart
My cherished sweetheart
So unforgettable

With you in my heart
When you're in my arms
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me, darling one
You are the only one

Tell the refrain of
My cherished sweetheart
My cherished sweetheart
So unforgettable

Tell the refrain of

My beloved
My beloved
So alluring
