O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko

O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko

O nei a ka po

Nou ka halia e Kalua

Nou no ka i`ini

A ka pu`uwai o

Waila ka halia aloha a Kalua

Ho`oheno nei ka ipo

Ia oe e Kalua

Ka pua i mohala

Ike aumoe (ike aumoe)

Hi`ipoe ke aloha

Makamae (makamae)

Nou na kau akau

Nou ka i`ini e Kalua

This is the night of love

The shining hour of Kalua

Her song is in the air

Her lips are waiting there

Who will be Kalua's only love?

Before the night is old

My (his) arms will hold Kalua

And where the tradewinds blow

Soft and low (soft and low)

Our love will blossom bright

In the night (in the night)

And stars will sing above

The love song of Kalua

This is my night of love

This is the hour of Kalua

My arms are open now

My heart has spoken now

Who will be Kalua's only love?

Before the night is old

My arms will hold, Kalua

My beating heart is true

Wanting you (wanting you)

Your beating heart I see

Wanting me (wanting me)

And now my song is thru

I give to you, Kalua
