The Sunday Manoa - Pua Lilia

One of my favorite trad Hawaiian songs.

[@Kevierae]

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!

[@pamelaerwin419]

Kevierae wow this story made me cry. So beautiful.

[@miltonlopez8200]

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.

What a beautiful, beautiful story.

[@harryhenderson2259]

I have tears as i read this "

[@hawaiibear]

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.

[@Kamuela96744]

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...

[@harrymiram6621]

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!

[@swicheroo1]

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.

[@tomidinoh3914]

Nahenahe.

[@williambrandt3564]

This song reminds me of the good old days in Hawaii. When things where simple and times where good.

[@stevensteelers8813]

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.

[@shwingteez]

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

[@richardtavai5698]

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.

[@kfwahine]

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.

[@MrJohnf7]

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.

[@wattm2]

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.

[@gamarjoba]

I had this album with I was young and wore it out listening to it over and over. Love it, love it, love it!

[@808mealoha3]

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.

[@lilykam5605]

My favorite Hawaiian song all Times!

[@rmiya3]

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!

[@enele52]

My all-time favorite from the Sunday Manoa. Mahalo Peter and Caz bros.

[@lilykam5605]

Timeless beauty, Cazameiros at their vocal best with the incomparable Peter Moon. A Hawaiian standard...

[@beatricesantiago4061]

A long time ago ... in the mid 1940's, ... our family had a neighbor's son who would sing this song ... Pua Lilia ... while the family was cleaning the house, and he would sing this song ... and it was so beautiful ... He had a beautiful voice ... And he must have been in his late teens ... And when Robert sings this song, it reminds me of him ... He worked on the Lurline Liner Ship ... Ah, such old and beautiful memories ... RIP VM

[@ukeinnature1689]

What a voice! What an EVERYTHING!

[@joslynneyoung2437]

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.

[@sale9980]

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"

[@michaelsale9497]

Here I am 8 years later and this song still hits the same. Aloha from Italy 🇮🇹- Da Sale Ohana 🤙🏽

[@wjc1952]

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.

[@valeriekihano-burgess7123]

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

[@Kevierae]

Mahalo for your kind words and thank you for your service to our country!

[@808supek]

Timeless track the best of Hawaii in one group!!

[@Kevierae]

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!

[@ridemotorcyclesin200]

That's an awesome story. I can see and hear why a Hawaiian would be homesick.

[@waynekealaiki5590]

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 !

[@sammiedeansutton4198]

My favorite hawaiian song ever...Kamehameha 86 grad....

[@samsonbrown47]

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.

[@h20eastoahu]

one of my favorite hawaiian songs

[@wjc1952]

That is a most touching story, and a testament to the heart and soul of Hawaiian mele. Mahalo for sharing your story. Me ke aloha, Auntie Wanda

[@dennisevangelista7654]

Takes me way back ! Nobody plays like this any more*

[@MrAoki777]

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!!

[@koonmung4167]

I always wish for a wahine with a gardenia in her hair to dance this waltz with me.

[@wjc1952]

And Peter Moon's `ukulele - beyond compare. Wow.

[@tomandlindacorcoran4122]

[@thomassawicki2065]

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 . . .

[@ijnet9247]

Robert Cazimero singing so amazingly.

[@annamariapreston8681]

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.

[@Kailuana8081]

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

[@ladyyong1]

[@michaelonmaui5680]

[@samsonbrown47]

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.

[@judyv463]

Magic. Elevates the spirit.

[@rowickhaili1749]

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.❤

[@Barbarian216]

@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.
