Ku`u Aloha E - Ida Keli`iokalani Chun

E kuʻu aloha ē

E kuʻu aloha
E hehene i kou ʻaka

Mai pili nō me aʻu
Me kou aloha nui wale

E ō e kuʻu aloha
Hāʻawi mai i kou nani

Sparkling eyes so hanohano
Sweet nei onaona

Kuʻu aloha, yes you're mine
Naʻu nō wale nō

Aloha mine, all mine
Nani mae ʻole nō

E kuʻu aloha
Kāhea mai i kou beauty

To you, kuʻu aloha

My love
With your tiny laughter

Come cling to me
With your abundant love

Answer, my love
Share your beauty

Sparkling eyes so happy
Sweet scented self

My love, yes you're mine
Just you, only you

Love, mine all mine
Never fading beauty

My love
Calling to your beauty
