Kuʻu Lei Aloha (My Beloved Lei) - Words & music by Charles E. King
Aʻo ke ʻala ka i hiki mai
Na ke ahe lau makani
Hali mai i oʻu nei
Hiki kou aloha kau mai ka haliʻa
Nou hoʻokahi
E kuʻu ipo nohea

Hui:
Kuʻu lei aloha
E kuʻu lei makamae
Aia me ʻoe ka haliʻa
Ka ʻanoʻi a neia puʻuwai
Hoʻokahi mea nui
O ka leo o ke aloha
Ke pani mai olu au
Maha nei puʻuwai

 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
