Ke Alaula - Makaha Sons

Album: Ke Alaula (Lyrics ▼)
E Kumuola, e ku'u tutu,
Poha mai ka 'onohi 'ula,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
Mai ka mole, ke kikowaena,
Ha'alulu ke kumu honua,
Haku 'iku'i i ka' 'aina nei,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
Hoaka 'O Kamawaipolani,
Hane'ene'e hele i kai.
'Oni me ka muliwai 'ola,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
Uhi pono i ke ea,
Puana ke ha'ina,
Ho'okukaulani i hei kapu,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
No nahanauna nei.
( ▼ English Translation ▼ )
Oh, Kumuola, My tutu,
Burst with rays of fire,
Opened a flaming pathway
From the source, the center
The foundation trembled,
Echoed throughout the land
Opened a stream of life
Appeared Kamawaipolani
Moving toward the sea,
Onward like a living river
Opened a seaward path
Enveloped in lifes' breath
The story is told,
Restore this sacred domain
Opened the path of life
For the generations of this land

I lived in Hawaii from 1973 to 1981 and my two favorite Hawaiian artist were the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau and the Brothers Cazimero. They were the greatest years of my life, many happy memories. This song, like others they do bring back those memories vividly. I'm in my 70's now, but I hope to go back someday and relive them before it's too late. Mahalo nui loa for the memories! Aloha!

[@luvslogistics1725]

When my oldest son was very young he couldn’t sleep. Luckily I was stationed in Hawaii and I’d put him in his carseat, drive around and listen to 105.1 and the gentle Hawaiian tunes would put him to sleep.

[@ElstonTrant]

The word "tutu" should mean grandpa or grandma, and I think that "my" should be written like "ko'u" on Hawaiian!!
