Show your support for Keali`i by purchasing your own copy of his CD by the same title -- and you'll be rewarded by the lyrics and translation for this song, which are included in the liner notes.

A win-win situation for all concerned.

E Ô Mai - Words & Music by Keali`i Reiche
Kâua i ka wai
Wai olohia o Kahualoa
Kokôhi i ka wai puhia
E ku`u aloha, e ô mai
Kaomi i ka wai
Wai mâpuna hâ`ale i ka poli
Pahe`e i ka wai lohia
E ku`u aloha, e ô mai
Puhemo i ka wai
Wai welawela hô`eha i ka ili
E inu i ka wai a kena
E ku`u aloha, e ô mai   We two in the water
The sighing waters of Kahualoa
Hold back that driven current
O my love, answer me
Restrain those waters
Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart
Glide on those waters as they sparkle
O my love, acknowledge me
Then, release the torrent
Waters of passion, burning the skin
Indulge until you are satiated
O my beloved, respond to me

For those of you who have chosen to point to the liner notes instead of post the lyrics, I have a simple question. What about those of us who choose not to deplete mother earths precious resources by purchasing a hard copy of music cd's? I purchase ALL of my music from itunes for this exact reason. Am I not supporting them, just because I purchase the music online?

Kaua i kai wai
Wai olohia o Kahualoa
Kokohi i ka wai puhia
E ku`u aloha, e o mai

(Repeat)

Kaomi i ka wai
Wai mapuna ha`ale i ka poli
Pahe`e i ka wai lohia
E ku`u aloha, e o mai

(Repeat)

Puhemo i ka wai
Wai welawela ho`eha i ka `ili
E inu i ka wai a kena
E ku`u aloha, e o mai

I agree with Mike. He gave me a copy when I was little but I have since lost the booklet and wanted to know the translation for this song as it was my favorite off of this album.

Anyone know the English translation to this song, it reminds me of my father every time I listen to it.

God Bless you Daddy, I love you.
