- Ha`awi nei au ia `oe he lei kukui
- E ho`onani hou i ko kaua la i male ai
- Na makahiki i hala
- E ho`o mana`o mau
- Hau`oli na eha, na pono, na weli
- Hui `ia ana ia mau mea
-
-
- Ke ha`awi nei au ia `oe he lei kukui
- He nui na mea e ha`i aku ai
- Kamana`o lana, ke ola, ka mahana
- Ka lama na luhi
- A me ke aloha pumehana mau
|
- I'm giving you a kukui nut
lei
- To celebrate again our wedding
day
- The years we've left behind
us
- Always will remind us
- The joys and tears, the hopes
and fears
- We faced them, come what
may
-
-
- So I'm giving you a kukui nut
lei
- It means so many things I want
to say
- It's hope and health and
sharing
- Warmth and light and
caring
- And all my love forever and a
day
