KU"˜U LEI AWAPUHI
Auhea la "˜oe ke aloha
Awapuhi pala o ka ua noe
A eia no me a"˜u
i ka poli o ke aloha
HUI:
E ku"˜u aloha e (e o)
Auhea la "˜oe (e ia mai au)
A huli aku au ia "˜oe
(TRANSLATION)
KU"˜U LEI AWAPUHI
Where are you, my beloved?
You, who are like the ginger, covered in the misty rain
If only we could be together again
Here, to love's sweet embrace I call thee
CHORUS:
Oh my beloved (I am here!)
Where are you? (Here, indeed am I)
It is you who I will forever turn to
