Sadly, much of the Aloha has moved to Vegas, but songs like this remind me of the wonderful, rich Hawa'ian culture and the beautiful Hawai'ian people who perpetuate the genuine love of land, sea, and people of this paradise.
I remember when I was first learning Hawaiian and this was the first “real” native Hawaiian song I heard and now I know and love this language and can not only love the song but the lyrics
In 2017, I happen to watch this exact video on my way home from Hawaii on Hawaiian airlines. Bored with the movies, I decided to listen to Hawaiian music. This is so beautiful and excellent sound. I am totally hooked with this song. I downloaded the guitar codes and almost every day, I listened to it and practice the guitar. Unfortunately, no one tells us the meanings of the lyrics word by word. ...Five years have passed. I just got back from Hawaii to attend my daughter's wedding ceremony! During the lunch time there were Hawaiian guitalists singing.. Sunddenly I heard they were singging in Hawaii language. So, I quickly searched Le ho'oheno lyrics,,,then I asked the guys if I could sing with them for the attraction. I enjoyed so much for this opportunity. I need to brush up my voice and guitar...
One of thee most beautiful heart felt and sung mele i have ever danced. Brings me to tears the love i feel when i dance. In honor of my children and my late grammie. Mahalo for sharing this gift to us Weldon
a stellar performance... so calming and refreshing... one of my favourites, beautiful melody and voice not forgetting the beautiful guitar artistry. a little night time balm. Congrats may we hear more in the future.

You should look up songs by Kahau'anu Lake Trio. He was left handed as well, and played his 'ukulele upside down, but tuned the same way as a regular 'uke, thereby the strumming and sounds were different but so pleasing.
I am a token haole in a Hawaiian band for the last 10 years. This is this song that that affected me the most over the years, makes me cry, not sure why. So beautiful.
Aloha Weldon - I discovered your music on HiSessions and it is so melodic and a beautiful mele! I love to listen to it while I am working. It brings me peace! Mahalo nui loa!
aloha wau keia mele. Aloha ko'u anakala.....he hoa hanau ku'u makuakane , 'a'ole hui ana.....i love this song...aloha to my uncle...this is my dads cousin, i never met.....e kala mai e olelo au li'ili'i. He haumana au 'a'ole kumu
Remembering my Kumu Leialoha Lee from wahiawa Hula studio,,,I am putting a Hula from this song for our Kumu....Mahalo Weldon & Brada's....so Nahenahe.... Aloha
This song has a transparent sound and a beautiful melody. I liked it so much that I even covered it a few times in my band, which plays mainly jazz. It's a favorite among hula dancers, and it's no wonder why!
Aloha Weldon, Jack & Alika, I listen to the joy and purity of this song everyday. Your music lifts my mana above the day to day grind and mediocrity. Mahalo nui loa!
wow its 8 August 2019 its the first time I heard it. Thank you its in my blood to appreciated the song. Yes its in my blood thank you. Even from nz the song sings to me. xo thank you
When I worked with Weldon at Hawaiian Airlines back in the late 90s, I didn't even know he sang....what a talent. Funny to accidentally run across this song...love it.
I don't have a clue what this song is saying, but I must admit I am touched by these guys. I've never heard someone sing at different levels of notes (if that even means something).

By far my favorite Hawaiian song! Took me so long to find it
I play this over and over again .... so beautiful ... could go to sleep every night to it.
Such a beautiful song.
One of the smoothest voices
Omg this mele is sooo gorgeous. One of my favorite! His voice is 😍 Every time I hear Weldon, I just want to cry. Mahalo for posting HI sessions.
Love this song, love this man's singing, love the group.
I love this song. Mahalo Weldon and band for such a beautiful mele! ❤️
I just noticed the player playing behind the lead singer is playing his guitar with strings upside down! TALENT extraordinaire 💯💯
That dudes left handed playing it upside down. Most poor kids that wanted to play music but left handed had to play it like that.
You should look up songs by Kahau'anu Lake Trio. He was left handed as well, and played his 'ukulele upside down, but tuned the same way as a regular 'uke, thereby the strumming and sounds were different but so pleasing.
Merci pour ce merveilleux moment ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
Sounds so beautiful makes my day and I feel like dancing 💃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌺💕👍🙋🏻♀️
I listen here while I work. I do need to learn more of the Hawaiian language so I can understand more of the words. Lovely. Miss home so much.
I love love love this mele and especially dancing hula to this mele!
Our favorite song. Ever. The voice, the lyrics, the music. Perfection.
Who would dislike this?this is legendary
I am a token haole in a Hawaiian band for the last 10 years. This is this song that that affected me the most over the years, makes me cry, not sure why. So beautiful.
