Ko Maka Palupalu (Your Soft Eyes) - words & music by J.K. A`ea

Ko aloha, kai hiki mai
Ke honehone nei
O ʻoe no kaʻu i aloha
A o loko e ka kele nei
 
Hui:
Malihini au ke ʻike
Ko maka palupalu
E nana i kou moi
E ʻoliʻoli e ʻoli nei
Mālama pono i kaʻu puni
Until we meet again
Your love has come to me
With sweet and tender meaning
For its only you I've loved dear
And I always yearn to be near thee
 
Chorus:
I was a malihini
When I saw your tender eyes
And their beauty rare, filled my heart
With the desire
That you should take good care
Until we meet again
English Lyrics by Leilani Noeckel:

Ah love, your love divine has come to me
For I adore you and only you, dear
For you evoke the yearning in my heart
 
Chorus:
I, a stranger, my queen
Beheld the lovelight in your eyes, dear
Say you will be mine, and mine alone
For in my heart is joy when you are near
Will you be true to me alone
Until we meet again
