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
