You are the one I`m fond of Your love is what I desire None can compare to you My lovely sweetheart! Chorus: My sweetheart, my lei, my caressed one You are loveliness in my sight Your beauty is incomparable, You are the only one I desire None can compare to you My lovely sweetheart! You are a beautiful woman You are my mate, my companion You are a lei, an adornment for my person And an adornment of Kāneʻohe that is cherished Chorus: My sweetheart, my lei, my caressed one You are loveliness in my sight Your beauty is incomparable, You are the only one I desire None can compare to you My lovely sweetheart! My sweetheart of Kāneʻohe I dedicate this to you alone! This ends the song for my loved one My beautiful Kawehipūlamahia |
