Kaua i ka wai
We two in the water
Wai olohia o Kahualoa
The sighing waters of Kahualoa
Kokohi i ka wai puhia
Hold back that driven current
Eku'u aloha, e o mai
O my love, answer me
Kaomi i ka wai
Restrain those waters
Wai mapuna ha'ele i ka poli
Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart
Pahe'e ika wai lohia
Glide on those waters as they sparkle
Eku'u aloha, e o mai
O my love, acknowledge me
Puhemo i ka wai
Then, release the torrent
Wai welawela ho'eha i ka 'ili
Waters of passion, burning the skin
E inu i ka wai a kena
Indulge until you are satiated
Eku'u aloha, e o mai
O my beloved, respond to me
