Holo Wa'a Pa ★★★★☆

Kaua i ka holo wa‘apa
Lawe malie ka lima i ka hoe
I mua a i hope pa‘a ke kulana
Mea‘ole na‘ale i ka luli malie

Ko mai ‘oe a kamau i ka hoe
Kohu manu ‘iwa i ka pi‘i mua
Hoku Mine, ku‘u lio holo nui
Kupaianaha e ka hana a na‘ale

Ho a‘e ka ihu i ka makani
Nowiki, noweke, kauweke
Ka hana ia la o ka moku
Porthard mai ‘oe i ka hoe

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ka puana
Lawe malie ka lima i ka hoe
I mua a i hope pa‘a ke kulana
Mea‘ole na‘ale i ka luli mälie

Let's you and I take a canoe ride
Take up your oars
Row forward then back, steady as she goes
Feel the gentle swaying of the waves

Draw and hold the oars steady
As she pitches ever forward like a bird
Just as if I were riding a horse
I could feel the workings of the waves

Turn the bow into the wind
Northeast, northwest, southwest
As the canoe makes its turns
"Porthard" is the command, hold the oars

This story comes to an end
Take up the oars
Row forward then back, steady as she goes
Feel the gentle swaying of the waves

I think Holo Wa'a Pa is a love song. This time, I attached a Hula video (link above). I hope you will enjoy the video.

He' eia ★★★★☆

Aia i Heʻeia lā
I ka nalu e heʻe ana
Ea, ea, ea, ea

Heʻe ana i ka muku lā
Hoʻi ana i ka lala
Ea, ea, ea, ea

A naʻu i kīkaha lā
ʻO ia ʻae kai
Ea, ea, ea, ea

A he kuhihewa koʻu lā
Aia i ka poli
Ea, ea, ea, ea

Hāpapa hewa au lā
I ka maka o ka moena
Ea, ea, ea, ea

ʻEʻena ia manu lā
Noho mai i ke kuahiwi
Ea, ea, ea, ea

Haʻina ka puana lā
O Hālala i ka nuku manu
Ea, ea, ea, ea

Haʻina mai ka puana lā
O Kaleleonalani
Ea, ea, ea, ea 

here at Heeia
We go surfing on the wavesTra la la la, tra la la la
Surfing of the crest
Returning on the diagonal wave
Tra la la la, tra la la la
 
Tis I who criss-crossed
The edge of the shore
Tra la la la, tra la la la
 
I mistakenly thought
You were in my arms
Tra la la la, tra la la la

I groped in vain
The meshes of the mat
Tra la la la, tra la la la

Shy was the bird
That lives in the uplands
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Tell the refrain of
The over-sized beak of the bird
Tra la la la, tra la la la
 
The end of my story
In honor of Kaleleonalani
Tra la la la, tra la la la

He'eia is an traditional Hawaiian song about the Kings favorite surfing spot. I always listen this song before I go surfing. Listening to this music help reduce stress and improve wellbeing.

Noho Paipai ★★★★★



Pupue iho au i mehana
Hone ana o uese i kuʻu poli

Me he ala nō e ʻī mai ana
ʻAuhea kuʻu lei rose lani?

Malihini ʻoe, malihini au
Ma ka ihu kāua kamaʻāina

Inā ʻo you me aʻu
Kau pono i ka noho paipai

Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Hone ana o uese i kuʻu poli 

I crouched down to keep
The thought of my sweetie pressed to my bosom
She seemed to be saying to me
Where is my wreath of red roses?
You are a stranger, I am a stranger too
But when we kiss each other, we are friends
If you were here with me
We would rock together on a rocking chair
This is the end of my song
A dream of my sweetie pressed to my bosom 

This is my No.1 favorite Hawaiian song. I really like this ukulele sound!!
