When my father was stationed in Korea, he took his ukulele. One very homesick night, he started singing this song, strumming his uku. In the distance, out in the night, he heard someone singing this song, too. He walked towards the singing voice, that was also getting closer. Finally, he met-up with another soldier, also from Hawai'i, also homesick for his wife and family, who had heard my father singing! My sister sang this at Dad's funeral, recalling this story. Not a dry eye in the house!
Prayers from back home for them braddas, answered. I can just imagine them loving that moment, thrilled. Not to mention the uplifting of their spirits. It has to be a God send, my thinking any how.
This song reminds me of Saturday mornings waking up to my Mom vacuming the living room and my brothers in the Yard raking the leaves. That was my old Hawaii I remember.
EVERYTIME hear this song, alongside Queen's Jubilee, Kanaka Wai Wai/Hawaii '78 & All Hawaii Stand Together....Always has me tearing up! This kinda music, Even though not understanding All the lyrics...Speaks To The Soul!
This song brings back great memories--me and my wife, just married, living a simple life. Every day was a blessing and every day, rainbows. I always felt lucky those days. And felt a kindness in the world. This entire album is so special to me.
As long as I can remember, this album and this song in particular represented much happier times of my life...... Those care free days when most everyone took the time out to enjoy our beautiful surroundings and each other's company. A Much Happier Hawaii...
Yeah, if there was a crackseed store on every corner anymore, and this music playing all over the world, people would appreciate the Aloha & peacefulness of the Hawai'ian people. Some may have taken almost everything from our kupuna, but not their heartfelt music & song. !!! Kaleolani F.
Sang this song for my love at a bar for karaoke. She forgot that she told me that it was her late Mother's favorite song. I thought that I did a good job on it; she cried as I sang and it was so emotional and real. I'll always love you my Baby.
Robert Cazimero has such a spectacular voice, and this mele showcases his talent so well. On the surface, the mele is so poetic and beautiful, ah, but if you understand some of the kaona..... What a group of musicians - Sunday Manoa.
C Az Cazimero brothers rule, I grew up with the cazimero family. Th e y are a very loving and c a ring family. God b l essential you Roland a ND one of my best friends Dominic Cazimero rest in peace my brothers. Hulihee Burgess A
Just visited mainland Alaska...going home...Pua Lilia waits on my lab top every morning to start my day. Talk about living......life to the fullest....listen to this song...it fills the soul. Aloha.
ahhhhhhhhhh, the time of my life - I lived in the islands, and listened to this on the radio every hour, and never got tired of it! thanks for the reminiscing.
Mahalo nui for sharing this video. This is my grandparents song, when my grandparent were young, my grandpa would stand outside of my grandmas window to sing this song to her. And he would also sing this to her on her birthday, anniversary and even when she got upset with him. Again Mahalo nui.
A very good friend of mine who passed away a year and a half ago sang Pua Lilia- his favorite song. The song has special meaning and I can never have enough of it. Now I have begun to sing the song and is my favorite song too!
Been there! Both, Korea nd the state to of mind that your dad was in. May your dad RIL nd mahalo's for your dad's service to our country. Much Aloha's from Japan - "Da Sale Ohana"
I so love this song. It is so beautiful. Everytime I hear this song I picture my hula sister dancing to it. She danced this song so gracefully and beautifully.
This song will always remind me of "My Dad WARREN KUUIPOALOHA KAAIHUE SR."may he "R.I.P." ++++++++Greatest singer and ukulele player!! I LOVE YOU, FATHER!! AHUI HOU+++++++++++
thinking of my daddy singing this song to his children's, iMiss&love you always dad.. Rest In Heavenly Peace Mr. Warren Kuuipoaloha Kaaihue SR. Sunrise: Nov 8 1939 Sunset: Dec 31 2014 mahalo for posting
This song brings back good memories....I remember listening to my dad playing is mandolin and my mom signing this song..they would blend their voices so beautifully that listening to this song since my dad has pass on over 23 years ago brings happy tears with my mom sitting next to me and tears rolling down her and my face..Good memories..Thank you, Sunday Manoa !
This music takes me back to 1893 to our Queen Liiu'okalani, the beautiful lady who knew of her future children of today would rise and be the epitome of the future.
Thanks for your reply! What's amazing is that I did not hear about this until after he died, so to have my sister sing this at his two services (we live in the mainland and had a service here, first) was very poignant and touching, indeed!
There would be, today, no Jake Shimabukuro if there never was a Peter Moon! Moon does an excellent job on solo ukulele here!! "Peter Moon 'No Ka Oi'" Wow!!
Classic Sunday Manoa! Of Course the Cazimeros do an excellent job of singing (Robert), but Peter Moon on ukulele! Wow!! This is possibly the finest solo ukulele by Peter!!
We had this album at our Surf Shack on the North Shore of Oahu in the 1970's. Listened to it 100's of times. The beautiful voices , excellent string playing, an so mellow vibe. Ah, the endless days of surfing and sunsets . . .
I love this song. My mom sings this so beautifully. :O) It always makes me smile. Very sensual. translated: Listen to the rain Creeping silently along the cliffs It looks as if this flower has been plucked Shapely the upland The very upland that I'll enjoy With the sweet fragrance of my flower You are a flower, always to wear as a lei The fragrance of my lily blossom

LOVE LOVE Yick Lung seeds and the Sunday Manoa. It was 25 cents a bag...my treat every Friday. Oh how things are so not 'right' these days. Showing my age I guess.
When I hear this mele it reminds me of the Pali is like a man protecting this Lilly which is the female Lilia, and the mist goes up to caresses this flower, K popohe even if this flower has already been plucked she is still beautiful and he wants her.❤
This song makes me think of my Queen Liliu'O kalani, her love for her children that lived in the turmoil of her dynasty, that could not advance the manao of our race.
Auhea wale `oe e ka ua Ke nihi a`e nei i nâ pali Ka helena o ia pua i `ako `ia He popohe mai nei ia uka Ia uka ho`i a`u e walea ai Me ke `ala onaona o ku`u pua He pua `oe na`u i lei mau ai Ke `ala o ku`u pua lilia

@wjc1952 True, unfortunately the true potentials of Hawaiian music, wisdom, culture and other attributes were not afforded its sovereignty to develop fully for the world to benefit from. There are many sad events for native peoples who were subjected to aggressiveness and lost forever their true identities, save for a few musical achievements like these.

Robert Uluwehi Cazimero has a voice of gold and a heart to match...He is the ipitome of Hawaiian music..

When I think of growing up back in the island, I hear this song. What a great voice and ukulele solo by two of Hawai'i greats.
This song reminds me of the good old days in Hawaii. When things where simple and times where good.
My all-time favorite from the Sunday Manoa. Mahalo Peter and Caz bros.
I had this album with I was young and wore it out listening to it over and over. Love it, love it, love it!

Classic Sunday Manoa! Of Course the Cazimeros do an excellent job of singing (Robert), but Peter Moon on ukulele! Wow!! This is possibly the finest solo ukulele by Peter!!
Robert Cazimero singing so amazingly.
Loved to hear it live at Primo Garden in the Ilikai, early 1970s
Was one of our hang outs...miss those times.
Love this song...
My father played excellent slack key guitar. This is a song that he would always sing for my mom….Lilia. Beautiful memories…
Mahalo nui loa for posting dis! So sweet! Please post more Sunday Manoa from this album.
We had this album at our Surf Shack on the North Shore of Oahu in the 1970's.

The Cazimeros are always great vocalist s and hula Kumu.
That is a most touching story, and a testament to the heart and soul of Hawaiian mele. Mahalo for sharing your story.

Listen to the rain

You are a flower, always to wear as a lei

My favorites always 😊jm
Beautiful music voice soothing.. guitar just awesome..aloha..jm
Roland is not with us today, but his music is, along with Braddah Robt, NO KA OI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow that's such a nice story
I dunno if any of you guys heard of a ukulele player from Japan named ota san. He used to play this kind tunes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Ohta
I think Ohta san is from Hawai'i. He's still around and his son plays too now. No ka oi, Herb Ohta!
Just amazing for my friend abeery
