concerts at the Waikiki Shell... on the grass. When halau traveled together. The boys would play this song and every halau dancer would jump up to dance right where they stood. That is my great memory of this song. Those were the days!

Hawaiian Music is the Most beautiful Music this side of Heaven.
I often listen to this type of music long into the morning hours.
Can't believe I posted this 6 years ago.....I'm 85 now.
there voices sound so good together!
Favorite Hawaiian Song!
Down the road of life --- in the Spirit of Aloha!
One of my faves too!
My favorite tune when I think of my times in Hawaii
Aloha kahi wai aʻo Hāliʻilua lā
lana mālie
ʻO ke one kaulana o Keōua lā,
me ka ʻihi kapu
Kapukapu nā maka aʻo ka ʻōpua lā
ke ʻike aku
Ka ʻanapa i ka luna o Kaʻawaloa lā
maoli pua
He pua nani ʻoe a he mea laha ʻole lā
na ka mākua
A he lei ʻāʻī, na ke kūpuna lā
he mea milimili
Kiʻina ko lei lehua i ʻŌlaʻa lā
lei ʻia mai
I ʻohu no ka wahine e walea ai lā
me ʻanoʻi pua
Mahalo aku wau lā i ka nani lā
mau mea hoʻohihi
Kaʻonohiokalā mālamalama lā
kau kehakeha
ʻO ke kō a ka hau anu o Māʻihi lā
ʻau i ke kai
Kaomi i ka ʻili o ke kamahele lā
me ka ʻeha koni
Haʻina ko lei lehua i ʻŌlaʻa lā
lei ʻia mai
Kaʻonohiokalā, mālamalama lā
kau kehakeha
