Māliei tonight

E hele mai

No rush, no noise

Just you and I

Yeah, yeah

Aloha nō

Stay close

Māliei, māliei

Mm, come through

Red dirt on my slippers, salt still on my skin

Pau hana, I’m outside, let the night begin

You pull up quiet, no need to explain

Ke aloha in your eyes, I can read that plain

Lei on the table, flowers in her hand

Old aunty smiles like she understands

808 low, windows halfway down

Makai road, we don’t need downtown

Makani touch my face

I let the old stress fade

You say, “stay right here”

I say, “aloha nō, babe”

Māliei tonight, don’t talk too much

Kai in the dark, your hand, my touch

No big words, just stay close

Ke aloha moves where the night goes

Māliei tonight, we ride slow

Mahalo for love that you don’t show off

No acting, no chase, no lie

Just you, me, and the lani sky

Māliei… yeah

E pili mai

Don’t move too fast

Aloha nō

Stay right there

Market flowers wrapped in yesterday’s news

You buy one for me, I act brand new

Small kine smile, but it hit real deep

Now your name keeps walking through my sleep

Mauka breeze coming through the screen door

Your shirt on the chair, my feet on the floor

No fancy plans, just rice on the stove

And the kind of love that don’t need to pose

Yeah, I had big dreams, still got ’em in reach

But I don’t let the fast life take from my peace

You know my mood by the way I breathe

Kuʻuipo, you don’t gotta ask what I need

We keep it low, but the feeling stay heavy

No loud talk, no acting petty

If the world gets cold, I know where to go

Back to your arms where the night moves slow

Aloha wau iā ʻoe, say it soft

Not for the crowd, not to show it off

Pō comes down, we don’t let go

Two quiet hearts where the palm trees grow

Māliei tonight, don’t talk too much

Kai in the dark, your hand, my touch

No big words, just stay close

Ke aloha moves where the night goes

Māliei tonight, we ride slow

Mahalo for love that you don’t show off

No acting, no chase, no lie

Just you, me, and the lani sky

Māliei tonight

E hele mai

No rush

Just you and I

Aloha nō

Mm, stay close

Māliei, māliei

Kuʻuipo

Don’t go

E pili mai
