Two Lovers ‘Elua Hoa
the sun has set
ua kau ka lā
I breathe you in
Hiki wau iāʻoe i loko
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
the sun over, under
ʻo ka lā, ma lalo
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
my lover’s warmth at night
ʻO ka mahanahana a kaʻu mea aloha i ka pō
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
my lover’s heart
ke aloha o kuʻu mea aloha
and as the moon will rise
a me ka mahina e ala mai a
forever in my arms
mau loa i koʻu mau lima
and with the moon and stars
a me ka mahina a me nā hōkū
forever in my eyes
i mua mau loa
I do not touch the ground
ʻAʻole wau e hoʻopā i ka lepo
when you make love to me
ke aloha maiʻoe iaʻu
we are the sun and moon
ʻO mākou ka lā a me ka mahina
forever in the sky
i ka lani mau loa
and be forevermore
a mau loa aku
two lovers in the sky
ʻelua mau mea aloha ma ka lewa
ua kau ka lā
I breathe you in
Hiki wau iāʻoe i loko
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
the sun over, under
ʻo ka lā, ma lalo
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
my lover’s warmth at night
ʻO ka mahanahana a kaʻu mea aloha i ka pō
for you are always
no ka mea,ʻoʻoe mau
my lover’s heart
ke aloha o kuʻu mea aloha
and as the moon will rise
a me ka mahina e ala mai a
forever in my arms
mau loa i koʻu mau lima
and with the moon and stars
a me ka mahina a me nā hōkū
forever in my eyes
i mua mau loa
I do not touch the ground
ʻAʻole wau e hoʻopā i ka lepo
when you make love to me
ke aloha maiʻoe iaʻu
we are the sun and moon
ʻO mākou ka lā a me ka mahina
forever in the sky
i ka lani mau loa
and be forevermore
a mau loa aku
two lovers in the sky
ʻelua mau mea aloha ma ka lewa
