Lyrics
Koni Au I Ka Wai
Hoʻohihi kahi manaʻo
I ka ʻehu kai o Puaʻena
Kai hāwanawana i ka laʻi lā
I ka laʻi wale aʻo Waialua
Hui:
Koni au, koni au i ka wai
Koni au i ka wai huʻihuʻi
I ka wai aliʻi ʻo ke kini lā
ʻOlu ai ka nohona o ka laʻi
Ka Ipo Lauaʻe
ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ka ipo lauaʻe lā ē
Kuʻu hoa haʻihaʻi ʻōlelo
E hui pāpā leo pū kāua lā ē
ʻO kou time pono kēia
Hui:
E kuʻu ipo kuʻu aloha lā ē
ʻO kou chance pono kēia
Kiss me my darling hoʻomau iho lā ē
Eia kāua i ka pili o ke ao
