    [LYRICS]
    E ku’u pili aloha -
    (My dear friend)
    Ku’u lei kau po’ohi wi
    (My lei that adorns my shoulders)
    Onaona i ka ihu
    (Sweet to smell)
    Nohea i ka maka
    (Beautiful to look at)
    Liliko i ka ua kilihune
    (Glistening in the wind-blown spray)
    Kilipohe i ke kanilehua
    (Moistened by the kanilehua* rain)
    Wewelo ke aloha i ka ‘onohi
    (Love streams before my eyes)
    ‘Ume’ume mai ho’i kau
    (Oh, how alluring you are)
    E kahi lei ho’oheno
    (My cherished friend)
    ------

    • @hankakah4180
      @hankakah4180 Před 8 dny

      You should look up songs by Kahau'anu Lake Trio. He was left handed as well, and played his 'ukulele upside down, but tuned the same way as a regular 'uke, thereby the strumming and sounds were different but so pleasing.

  • @surfinturfer
    @surfinturfer Před 2 lety +3

    Sadly, much of the Aloha has moved to Vegas, but songs like this remind me of the wonderful, rich Hawa'ian culture and the beautiful Hawai'ian people who perpetuate the genuine love of land, sea, and people of this paradise.

    In 2017, I happen to watch this exact video on my way home from Hawaii on Hawaiian airlines. Bored with the movies, I decided to listen to Hawaiian music. This is so beautiful and excellent sound. I am totally hooked with this song. I downloaded the guitar codes and almost every day, I listened to it and practice the guitar. Unfortunately, no one tells us the meanings of the lyrics word by word. ...Five years have passed. I just got back from Hawaii to attend my daughter's wedding ceremony! During the lunch time there were Hawaiian guitalists singing.. Sunddenly I heard they were singging in Hawaii language. So, I quickly searched Le ho'oheno lyrics,,,then I asked the guys if I could sing with them for the attraction. I enjoyed so much for this opportunity. I need to brush up my voice and guitar...
