Kealoha - Lyrics by Ida K. Malacas, Music by Akoni Malacas

 

Ke aloha e, aloha e
Kulu nei i tu`u waimaka
E ho`i mai te aloha ta i`ini
O tu'u pu`uwai

Waiwai no `oe ia na`u
Ho`okahi tou maka palupalu
Tu`u nanea te ite aku a na`u
Ho`okahi no

Mai mana`o `oe my darling
No ka wahawale no ea
Na ka mea ua pa`a taua
I ta sila ia na`u ho`okahi

Huli mai ho`i e te aloha
Ka`u mea i kau ahe nei
Ko lilo ana ia`u e ka mea nui
O tu`u pu`uwai
Calling to my love,
My tears are falling
Return my love, my desire,
Of my heart
 
You are precious to me
One in your soft eyes
Pleasant in my sight
My one and only
 
Don't think my darling
About the talk which flows so freely
For we are together
Sealed to me as one
  
Turn to me, my love
For you have become
The most important thing to me
Of my heart
