Wai maka o Poliahu 
I ka `eha a ke aloha 
Kaumaha i ka ha`alele 
O Aiwohi kupua

Hui: 
E ho`i mai (e ho`i mai) 
E ku`u ipo 
E ho`i mai (e ho`i mai) 
E pili kâua 
E ho`i mai (e ho`i mai `oe) 
E ho`i mai `oe e, e 
E ho`i mai `oe 

Anuanu ka `iu kêhau 
O Mauna Kea 
A`ohe ana ipo aloha 
E ho`o pumehana


Kau mai ka hali`a aloha 
O ka wa mamua 
Puolu ka wai o Nohi 
Ku`u mehameha


He lei ko aloha 
No ku`u kino 
Pili poli hemo`ole 
No na kau akau

Translation.

Tears of the snow goddess
And the pains of love
Sadden by separation
Of Aiwohi, the demi-god

Cold the sacred dew
Of Mauna Kea
And no one to love
And to warm

To enact memories of love
Of times gone by
Refresh the water of Nohi
And my loneliness

Your wreath of love
For my body
And bosom closed tied
Put in place forever

Chorus:

Come back to me
My sweetheart
Come back to me
As we embrace
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
 
really good man. i liked it. i think its 'ika eha a', instead of 'ika ha'a' though.

anyway, great job.
