I'm looking for the lyrics for Ipo Hula by Lena Machado. Aunty Genoa Keawe sings this mele.

Mahalo nui for any help you can give me.

IPO HULA (also known as "The Sweetheart Hula")

1. He wehi a he lei no ke onaona (A song and a lei of fragrance)
No ke aloha pili paa pili hemo ole (...for the love forever close)

2. Kaua i ka nani 'o ke Ko'olau (We two in the beauty of the windward mountains)
I ka wehi a ka Uapo'aihale (In the adornment of the rain (named) "house-surrounding"

3. Owau ho'okahi ke none nei (I alone take the trouble...)
I neia hana nui a ke aloha (...to make this much love)

4. Hiki mai ko aloha i ou nei (Your love comes here to me...)
I neia hana eha a ka pu'uwai (...to make the heart ache)

5. Ha'ina ia mai ana ka puana (The story is told of...)
Lei pili a kaua, hana kapaianaha (The lei that belongs to us two, a wonderful affair)

I've been Searching to no avail for the chord progressions for the Ipo Hula.
it may also be known as the Ho'oipoipo Hula or Sweetheart hula.
I believe that it was composed by Lena Machado and performed by Genoa Keawe.
Any help will be deeply appreciated!
