Huʻi e, huʻi koni
Huʻi koni lā, huʻi koni lā
Nei puʻu wai
 
He ʻiniki, he ʻiniki welawela lā
He ʻiniki lā, ʻhe iniki lā
A ke aloha
 
ʻEha au, me ka walania
ʻEha au me ka ʻeha koni ʻeha
ʻIʻo nō
 
ʻImo ē, ʻimo kō maka ē
ʻImo kō maka, eha oila
Me ka ʻeha koni
 
ʻOni e, oni kō kino ē
ʻOni kō kino, kō nui kino lā
He ʻolu ʻiʻo no
 
I mua ē, kū mālie ē
Haʻawi ke aloha me ka ʻeha koni
Sure kēlā
 
Ha`ina ē, ana ka puana lā
Haʻawi ke aloha me ka ʻeha koni
Sure kēlā


Ache, throbbing ache
Throbbing ache, throbbing ache
Here in the heart
 
Stings, a hot sting
Stinging
Love stings
 
I have pain, the anguish
I have throbbing pain
So real
 
Wink, wink your eye
Wink your eye, wink and tease
With a throbbing ache
 
Move, move your body
Move your body, your big body
So soft
 
Move forward, be gentle
Give love with a throbbing ache
Surely
 
Tell the refrain
Give love with a throbbing ache
Surely
