    We had a hula concert last Saturday at our school, our keiki did a number and omg, it was emotional. Everyone was cheeehooo and whistling. Her voice is so beautiful.

    Over several years, I've heard different versions of this song, but none - and I do mean NONE compare to Teresa's beautiful voice. Such a beautiful song..... thanks Teresa.

    Amazing as to Hawaii's history of legendary stories being told and handed down to our Hawaiian people. Our kupuna and their na kupuna have also handed down stories to share with their children and mo'opuna. Hawaiian legends are endless and we are blessed to to be able to hear and read their stories. Our Hawaiian People - past and present - are very akamai. As one very appreciative of my Hawaiian heritage, I am happy that I, my family and friends live in Hawaii-very grateful and blessed. Can you imagine what life would be, had we lived elsewhere with all the pilikia happening around us. Aloha and Mahalo!

    Today I was told by my guardian angel that a diety was calling out to me, Her name is Poli'ahu.
    I also live in Hawaii. Born and raised.
    But this song, I grew up adoring it.
    I'm planning on making an alter for Poli'ahu soon.
    Yes. The Goddess of Snow.

    A`ohe ana ipo aloha
    E ho`o pumehana
    Kau mai ka hali`a aloha
    O ka wa mamua

    Poli'ahu
    Tears of Poliahu
    in pain from love
    saddened by the departure
    of Aiwohi, the demi god
    cold is the sacred dew
    of Mauna Kea
    having no one to love
    and to make warm
    fond recollections of love
    of earlier times
    refresh the water of Nohi
    and my sadness
    Your love is a lei
    for my body
    close to my breast
    for ever
    REFRAIN:
    come back (come back)
    my darling
    come back (come back)

    If you used the expression "Voice of an Angel", this is the song it would bring to mind. I think (guessing) that's Manu Boyd singing behind her. It chokes me up a little every time I hear it. Not only is the singing just gorgeous, you know that she KNOWS what the words are saying. There are other (none quite so) pretty versions on CZcams, but they seem to merely mimic her version without really knowing what the lyrics mean... "Come to me that we may Pili".

    Hello! I have been looking for almost 20 years for a musical peace called "OFF SHORE", its an instrumental played with steel guitar.. I wonder if you know anything about it, I would appreciate any information of it, thank you and have a nice day.

    • @michaelonmaui5680
      @michaelonmaui5680 Před 7 lety +2

      Aloha Sincillico - the song "Off Shore" is indeed not easy to find; however - it was first recorded in 1953 by Leo Diamond and can be found on youtube. Santo and Johnny also recorded it as did many other great artists during the Tiki years of the 50's and early 60's (including Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman). If you're a jazz fan, Ray Bryant also did a really great job with this song in a 'midnight mood' kind of tempo, really nice. Les Elgart has a great version in Big Band fashion; and I THINK Jerry Byrd recorded Off Shore, but I'm not positive. There are more - many more - but this should get you started. Take care and God bless.
