Ku`u Lei Aloha ( My Beloved Lei) - Words & Music by Charles E. King

A`o ke `ala ka i hiki mai
Na ke ahe lau makani
Hali mai i o`u nei
Hiki kou aloha kau mai ka hali`a
Nou ho`okahi
E ku`u ipo nohea


Hui:
Ku`u lei aloha
E ku`u lei makamae
Aia me `oe ka hali`a
Ka `ano`i a neia pu`uwai
Ho`okahi mea nui
O ka leo o ke aloha
Ke pani mai olu au
Maha nei pu`uwai

 A fragrance comes to me
Brought by the breath of a wind
To my presence
Your love came stirring memories
Of you alone
My charming sweetheart


Chorus:
My beloved lei
My precious lei
My memories and thoughts and
Love of my heart are you
One thing I desire
The voice of my darling
Speaking gently to me
Thus soothing my heart
