Kuʻu Ipo (My Sweetheart) - Words & Music by David Nape
Kuʻu ipo a nohea
I lupea i ke ʻala
Pumehana hoʻi o loko
Hoʻomāhie i ka puʻuwai

Hui:
Mai naʻu e honi aku hoʻi
Ka moani o ka hanu
I piha i ke aloha
O kuʻu ipo

I aloha ia ka leo
I ka pane ana mai
Ua pili paʻa ke aloha
Hoʻoni ana i ka iwi hilo
 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
