My dove lost in the forest
My heart cries with sadness
Our hopes have left unfulfilled
Because of the fuala'au have refused

[Chorus]
Oh oh
The poor love
I want to see you and your gentle ways
But as for my commitments
Remains with you until death

My dove
Come I want to see
A love you held in secret
Thoughts have kept me from sleeping
Because of my desire to see you

[Chorus]
Oh oh
The poor love
I want to see you and your gentle ways
But as for my commitments
Remains with you until death
