Kuu-ıpo-lani (my Sweetheart Lani)

Kuu-ipo-lani my sweetheart from Hawaii Your hula hands are saying that your lips were only playing a game We kissed and then you slipped away To another's arms to stay Your love awaits he calls your name Kuu-ipo-lani [ steel ] You're gone the music fades and dies Still I see your dusky eyes The surfs and sands are whispering That your love's a game of kissing And then you'll do your dance of love once more On another moonlit shore I know he'll break your heart someday Kuu-ipo-lani Kuu-ipo-lani
