Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kay kalli nei
A-ahee ah-ah ee aha
Cou-ou alhoa
This is the moment
Of sweet aloha
I will love you longer
Promise me that you
Will leave me never
Here and now, dear
All my love I vow, dear
Promise me that you
Will leave me never
I will love you longer
Than forever
Now that we are one
(My darling)
Clouds won't hide the sun
(My darling)
Blue skies of Hawaii
Smile on this
Our wedding day
I do (I do)
Love you (love you)
With all my heart
I do (I do)
Love you (love you)
With all, my, heart
The first verse of the song 'The Hawaiian Wedding Song' by Perry Como is in the Hawaiian language and sets the tone for the rest of the song. Here, the lyric talks about the beauty of the moment - sweet aloha - that the couple is experiencing. The singer promises to love the other person forever and asks for a reciprocal promise that they will never leave. The lyrics emphasize the depth of love that the two people have for each other, symbolized by the beauty of the Hawaiian landscape and culture, as seen in the reference to the blue skies of Hawaii that smile on the couple's wedding day.
The chorus of the song contains the most memorable lyrics- 'I do, Love you, with all my heart.' These are the words a couple exchange in their vows, making it an evergreen wedding song that can be played at every wedding with the same intensity of feeling. The lyrics remind listeners of the vows they exchange on their wedding day and the emotions that come with them. Moreover, the third verse of the song is a beautiful expression of what the wedding day represents for the couple. The clouds will not hide the sun, and the blue skies of Hawaii will smile on them as they start their lifelong journey of love.
