E Nani E - Gertrude Ka`ahapu

 
E nani e nani e
Aloha wau iä `oe
He aloha ka mea nui
Kë hiki mai hiki mai
 
 
E nani e nani e
Hau`oli au iä `oe
E ka`u mea e li`a nei
E ka `i`ini ä loko
 
 
E ö mai e nani e
I neia mele nö
He li`a nohenohea
Aloha wau iä `oe

 

Hey, beautiful
I love you
Love is the main thing
When it comes, it comes
 
 
Hey, beautiful
I am delighted with you
You are the one I desire
With a deep yearning inside
 
 
Beautiful one, won't you answer
This song
Expresses my growing desire
I love you
