On a little bamboo bridge
By the waters of Kalua,
Beneath Hawaiian skies
I fell in love with you.

On a little bamboo bridge
By the waters of Kalua,
We found a paradise,
A paradise for two.

While we were gazing in the water,
The silvery ripples kissed the shore,
And your reflection in the water
Seemed to say you'd be mine for evermore.

On a little bamboo bridge
By the waters of Kalua,
You made my dream come true,
Sweetheart, when I found you!
