Ku’u Ipo Kuʻu Aloha Poina ʻOle (Ida’s Hula) - by Ida Alicante & John Noble

ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e kuʻu aloha
Kuʻu ipo hoʻoheno o ke aumoe

I laila hoʻi ʻoe e ʻike iho
I ka nani o ia pua e moani nei

Ka uwea honehone o ka makemake
Hāʻupu aʻe ʻoe aʻo wau ia

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kuʻu ipo kuʻu aloha poina ʻole

 Heed, oh my beloved
My cherished sweetheart of the eve

It is there you behold
The beauty of that blossom that wafts its fragrance

The sweet call of desire
For you remember that `tis I

Tell the refrain
My sweetheart, my unforgettable love
