Translation of the song lyrics Ka Pua U'i - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Ka Pua U'i (original)

Aloha wau ia 'oe ku’uipo
Ku’u lei momi ku’u milimili
O ka heka 'oe ona pua
O ke kupuna a’e hi’I poi nei
Hau’oli ka mana’o ke 'ike aku
Kou maka palupalu e ke aloha
He aloha I pili ia ika pu’uwai
Ahe lei hi’ehi’e na ka makua
Puana ka inoa o ku’uipo
Ku’u lei nani lei maka mae
He nohea oe I ku’u maka
E ka pua u’I oe o na lani

Ka Pua U'i (translation)

I love you my love
I kissed and kissed
You are the heka of his arrows
The next grandparent picked up poi
It's a happy feeling to see
Your tender eyes, love
Love is close to the heart
A beautiful necklace for a parent
Sing the name of my love
My beautiful lei with pale eyes
Where are you from in my sight?
O beautiful flower of the heavens
