Ho`ohihi `Oe Ke `Ike Mai - Words & Music by Charles E. King


Ho`ohihi `oe ke `ike mai
Ka`u no ia, e `i`ini nei

Ho`omau ia, ke `ikena mai
A he `olu ia no`u nei

Eia au ke kali nei
E ho`i mai, no a`e pili

Ha`ina `ia mai, ka puana
Ho`ohihi `oe ke `ike mai


You will like me, I know
And you are my heart’s desire

Come and see me often
That will please me very much

I am waiting here
Come and be with me

This ends my song
You will like me, I know
