LYRICS

Ko aloha makamae e ipo

This is the moment (Eia au)

I've waited for (ke kali nei)

I can hear my heart singing (Aia la i hea)

Soon bells will be ringing

This is the moment

Of sweet Aloha

I will love you longer than forever (ka ipo)

Promise me that you will leave me never (pu'uwai)

Here and now, dear

All my love I vow, dear

Promise me that you will leave me never (ka ipo)

I will love you longer than forever (nei la)

Ua sila pa'a 'ia me 'oe

Ko aloha makamae e ipo

Ka'u ia e lei a'e nei la

Now that we are one ((nou ka 'i'ini)

Clouds won't hide the sun (wale no)

Blue skies of Hawaii smile

On this, our wedding day

I do love you

With all my heart

Ko aloha makamae e ipo
