Ku`u Ipo (My Sweetheart) - Words & Music by David Nape
Ku`u ipo a nohea
I lupea i ke `ala
Pumehana ho`i o loko
Ho`omahie i ka pu`uwai

Hui:
Mai na`u e honi aku ho`i
Ka moani o ka hanu
I piha i ke aloha
O ku`u ipo

I aloha ia ka leo
I ka pane ana mai
Ua pili pa`a ke aloha
Ho`oni ana i ka iwihilo


 My lovely sweetheart
Imbued with fragrance
Warmed am I within
By the joy of my heart

Chorus:
Let me smell the sweetness
Of the breath
Filled with the love
Of my sweetheart

Beloved the voice
That replies to me
That love is always mine
Holding fast to the depths of the heart
