Nathan Aweau - E Apo Mai

Nathan Aweau performs E Apo Mai in the Atherton Performing Arts Studio.
First song he wrote in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi to pay homage to his ʻOhana. This song also won "song of the year" at the 2003 Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards.
E Apo Mai
Hoʻomanaʻo ana mau i ka makahiki
Luana ana nō i ka ʻohana a me nā hoaloha.
E paʻani ana me nā hoahanau i Punaluʻu
ʻOiai ʻanakala mau i hana i ka mea ʻai.
E aloha, kēia e apo mai ko mākou ʻohana
Wehe nā makana i Kalikimaka
Pumehana o ko Kupuna Wahine minoaka
E pūʻiwa, ʻia mākou i lana ka hiamoe
Nui na makana i wehe ka la‛au
E aloha, kēia e apo mai ko mākou ʻohana
Haʻina ia mai ana ka puana la,
ʻIke au he makana nō ke Akua koʻu ʻohana
Haʻina ia mai ana ka puana la,
ʻIke au he makana nō ke Akua koʻu ʻohana
E aloha, kēia e apo mai ko mākou ʻohana
E aloha, kēia e apo mai ko mākou ʻohana
E aloha, kēia e apo mai ko mākou ʻohana
