- Haʻawi nei au ia ʻoe he lei kukui
- E hoʻonani hou i ko kaua la i male ai
- Nā makahiki i hala
- E hoʻo manaʻo mau
- Hauʻoli nā eha, nā pono, nā weli
- Hui ʻia ana ia mau mea
-
-
- Ke haʻawi nei au ia ʻoe he lei kukui
- He nui na mea e haʻi aku ai
- Kamanaʻo lana, ke ola, ka mahana
- Ka lama na luhi
- A me ke aloha pumehana mau
|
- I'm giving you a kukui nut
lei
- To celebrate again our wedding
day
- The years we've left behind
us
- Always will remind us
- The joys and tears, the hopes
and fears
- We faced them, come what
may
-
-
- So I'm giving you a kukui nut
lei
- It means so many things I want
to say
- It's hope and health and
sharing
- Warmth and light and
caring
- And all my love forever and a
day
