I was born in Oklahoma, I grew up in Texas, my favorite city is Guanajuato, Mexico, I'm a permanent resident of Paraguay, and I will return to Paraguay someday, but my heart will always be in Hawai'i.
I'm a relative newcomer to Hawaiian music, but I can tell you this.. Teresa Bright has quickly become one of my favorite singers of all time. Such a soothing voice......
This song is actually about Kona (The Big Island) Goodby Honolulu In the Kûkalahale rain Mamala, the entrance of Honolulu Harbor Lies behind Ahead The shady groves of Lele Lighthouse is always burning And not extinguished by the Kaua`ula rain Sailing out to the open sea `Upolu point appears Take shelter at Mahukona From the `Âpa`apa`a wind Hurry, so we may tarry Here at Kawaihae From the Nâulu showers and The wind that stirs the waves The Mumuku wind gusts Filling the top sails Kona is the best Of the streaked sea Urging on To the center of Hualâlai Peace overwhelms After the piercing The rain does not pass The sweet-eyed kole Eat heartily Especially the belly, so fat and choice Remembering Your love in the depths of my soul Entering Honu`apo The sea is dancing Leave the Maunaloa In the calm night of Kona Enter Ho`okena Like the tail of the manini Tell the refrain Kona is the best Kona of the calm sea Famous among mulititudes
"Farewell, Honolulu, I'm off to Kona!" My little halau dances to this version of the song (among others,) and I enjoyed seeing the sights of Honolulu along with her beautiful voice!
@ChiAura My goodness, I'm 13 and I haven't lived in Hawaii since I was born.. Last March was the first time I went back since I was born in Mauii. I never wanted to leave and everytime I think how much better it is over there, I start to cry.. but it's only a few more years till I'm back, and I keep that thought in my mind to keep strong.
Lot Kauwe's masterpiece about a steamboat trip back to the Big Island from Honolulu around the early 1900s. It tells of a "country-bumpkin's adventures and impressions of the Honolulu city lights and hula dancers back in the day, and one's return to the beloved N. Kona district, many veiled (kaona) references to well known places, winds and the land...............

This song is actually about Kona (The Big Island)
Goodby Honolulu
In the Kûkalahale rain
Mamala, the entrance of Honolulu Harbor
Lies behind
Ahead
The shady groves of Lele
Lighthouse is always burning
And not extinguished by the Kaua`ula rain
Sailing out to the open sea
`Upolu point appears
Take shelter at Mahukona
From the `Âpa`apa`a wind
Hurry, so we may tarry
Here at Kawaihae
From the Nâulu showers and
The wind that stirs the waves
The Mumuku wind gusts
Filling the top sails
Kona is the best
Of the streaked sea
Urging on
To the center of Hualâlai
Peace overwhelms
After the piercing
The rain does not pass
The sweet-eyed kole
Eat heartily
Especially the belly, so fat and choice
Remembering
Your love in the depths of my soul
Entering Honu`apo
The sea is dancing
Leave the Maunaloa
In the calm night of Kona
Enter Ho`okena
Like the tail of the manini
Tell the refrain
Kona is the best
Kona of the calm sea
Famous among mulititudes
Thank you! I never knew what the words meant! Beautiful!
Beautiful song beautiful lyrics.. thank you so much🙏
I dearly love soft Hawaiian music such as this. But then, why does it always make me cry?
"Farewell, Honolulu, I'm off to Kona!"
My little halau dances to this version of the song (among others,) and I enjoyed seeing the sights of Honolulu along with her beautiful voice!
