Huki aku la. a huki mai, a huki aku la
Hukihuki mai
Along the beach at Waikîkî
A handsome kâne (fair wahine) is waiting for me
With his (her) dark eyes and lovable charms
And very sweet Hawaiian hospitality
Beneath the moon, we strolled along
And life is just like a beautiful song
And when he (she) whispers, "Come into my arms."
It's just the old Hawaiian hospitality
Hui (Chorus):
And though my heart may sob to
Aloha when I sail away
How my heart will throb to the thought
Of coming back some day
And when my dream of love come true
There will be `ôkolehao for two
A bit of wela ka hao might do
It's just the old Hawaiian hospitality
