“A Song of Old Hawaii”
Recorded on July 1, 1940, this song was written by Gordon Beecher, with music composed by Johnny Noble. Johnny was one of the key figures behind the development of Hapa Haole style music in Honolulu and played a leading role in introducing Hawaiian music to the United States. The words and the music are beautiful!
The song goes:
"There’s a perfume of a million flowers
Clinging to the heart of old Hawaii.
There’s a rainbow following the showers
Bringing me a part of old Hawaii.
There’s a silver moon, a symphony of stars
There’s a hula tune, and the hum of soft guitars.
There’s a trade-wind sighing in the heavens
Singing me a song of Old Hawaii."
