@OpenHand12 lol

[sknight3377]

Tears of Poliahu in pain from love saddened by the departure of Aiwohi, the demi god cold is the sacred dew of Mauna Kea having no one to love and to make warm fond recollections of love of earlier times refresh the water of Nohi and my sadness Your love is a lei for my body close to my breast for ever REFRAIN: come back (come back) my darling come back (come back) my darling and weill be with each other come back (you come back) come back (you) come back (you)

[Kailoa36]

Mahalo a nui loa. This gave me a whole new perspective on snow and a goddess I knew so little about.

[Kaeboy78]

Tears of the snow goddess Poli'ahu, And the pains of love, Sadden by separation, Of Aiwohi, the demi-god.

Cold the sacred dew of Mauna Kea, and no one to love and to warm.

To enact memories of love of times gone by, Refresh the water of Nohi and my loneliness.

Your wreath of love for my body and bosom closed tied, put in place forever.

Come back to me

My sweetheart

Come back to me

As we embrace

Come back to me

Come back to me

[Kaeboy78]

Wai maka o Poliahu, I ka 'eha a ke aloha, Kaumaha i ka ha'alele O Aiwohi kupua. Anuanu ka 'iu kehau, O Mauna Kea, A'ohe ana ipo aloha, E ho'o pumehana. Kau mai ka hali'a aloha, O ka wa mamua, Puolu ka wai o Nohi, Ku'u mehameha. He lei ko aloha, No ku'u kino, Pili poli hemo'ole, no na kau akau. E ho'i mai E Ku'uipo E ho'i mai E pili kaua E ho'i mai E ho'i mai 'oe e, e E ho'i mai 'oe.

Thank you for this piece of jewel. I went up to Mauna Kea with a friend yesterday, and your video has allowed as to re-live our encounter with the gentle power of Poli'ahu. It was my first visit to Mauna Kea and to Poli'ahu. It was an experience I will always carry in my heart. May Her blessings be always with you.
