Aloha Nô Au I Ko Maka - by Prince William Pitt Leleiôhoku
O `oe nô ka`u aloha
Ku`u ipo noho i ka `iu
E noho `oe a mana`o mai
A he kuleana kou i `a`nei
 
Hui:
Aloha nô au i ko maka
Ko ihu waliwali ka`u i honi
Koe aku ko piko wai `olu
Ua kapu na ka mea waiwai
 

Ua like nô `oe a like
Me ke onaona Iapana
Ka ho`ene i ku`u poli
Konikoni i ku`u pu`uwai
 

 

You are the one I love
My sweetheart dwelling far away
Remain and think of me
Claim your right, here with me

 
Chorus:
I love your eyes
Your tender nose I kiss
You've captured my heart, I am yours, dear
I pledge that I'll always be true
 
 
You are like
The scent of Japan
The melody at your bosom
My heart is beating and aching for you
 
 
 

Someone is tall and handsome
Someone is fair to see
Someone is kissing somebody
Under the light of the moon
