Lyrics

Ku’i 'ia ke kukui pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha kau maila e
Kukui aloha o Hawaii e

Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha

Ku’i 'ia ke kukui pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha kau maila e
Kukui aloha o Maui e

Ku’i 'ia ke kukui pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha kau maila e
Kukui aloha o Kauai e

Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha

Ku’i 'ia ke kukui pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha kau maila e
Kukui aloha o Oahu e

Ku’i 'ia ke kukui pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha kau maila e
Kukui aloha o Moloka’i e

Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha, Ke Aloha

Translation:

May I connect with the light and love intimately
May I connect intimately with the love offered in this sacred song
And the light and love of the (islands of)Hawaii (Maui, Kauai, Oahu, Moloka’i)
And so it is.
