"Aloha au `ia `oe" (also "aloha wau `ia `oe") is "I love you" in Hawaiian. The direct translation is actually "love I to you." It's the opening line in a lovely song by Lena Machado, "Ei Nei." It's hard to describe pronunciation well, so here are several of various artists singing that opening line showing subtle differences in the pronunciation. The first is Lena Machado herself.

I think it's most often heard with the "wau" spelling. The "w" is most often heard pronounced as "v" but "w" is still correct. The linguistically talented pronounce a unique Hawaiian soft blend of v and w. Or the "w" can be dropped completely in both spelling and pronunciation. Same-same!

There is no Hawaiian word for "am" but the word "I" is Au.
