It's time to say aloha
Leaving the land where yaka-hula taught the world how to sway
Leaving the smiling little island when we sail away
Too soon, too soon
It's time to say aloha
Leaving the land of warm caresses and the nights are long
Leaving the shredded ti leaf dresses and their plaintive song
Too soon, too soon
And now we drink aloha, kau'a
Until the day we'll meet again
It's time to say aloha
Leaving the lovely flower leis on the waters blue
That's the Hawaiian way of saying we'll come back to you
Some day, some day
