Natural beauty of Hawaii - Eo Mai - Keali'i Reichel

[ChanelleHiga2012]

isn't the song called E O MAI? lol , xD . not Eo Mai , :P

[TheReva21]

Beautiful song



[viktolianoe]

I love this song and his music beautiful voice .i have all his CD"s just like to listen to his music and chill.

[LivinInHisWord]

How very beautiful & peaceful. You can feel the love & peace. Does anyone have the English translation? It sounds very poetic~

[compxci]

If I learned to surf, I could after work, go surfing. What a rush, to participate in a sport that used to reserved for the Royal Hawaiian Family! Ah, yes the folks that live there i have found are generally refined, decent people. Problem is though, everything is imported and costs are so high, it would be a struggle just to live within 50% of my means!!

[compxci]

This song sounds a Hawiian Hymn.

[compxci]

This song sounds a Hawiian Hymn

[compxci]

I wished to Alimighty God I could live there. I been to the Islands five times in my life. To some of you that may seem excessive, but to me, it's not enough. I imagine that the scenary may be similar to the way the earth looked during the biblical account of adam and eve. I envy those of you who live there and I'm aware there are crappy days in paradise, I have no illusions. Just wished I knew someone there, then there would be a valid reason to visit or stay :)

[2011hib]

If this song doesn't give you a peaceful feeling, then there isn't much left that can--lol

[micmontyb1]

Whenever I hear the sweet voice of Keali'i Reichel singing this song, the aloha spirit simply overwhelms me and I yearn so much to return to Hawaii, my birthplace!

[sweetheartkahananui2]

does any one know the translation in hawaiian

[louie99999]

How does one find the peace in their heart to create a song like this?

[cruznjcks]

How beautiful this song is and the pictures. My eyes have tears in them because I long to go back home...I am not from Hawaiian blood, but I am from Hawaiian spirit, I felt the aina when I arrived in Hawai'i as a kid, lived Hawai'i for 5 years, and my heart was broken when I left and has been aching for almost 20 years to go back home. Mahalo for sharing.

[rasta19054]

très love !!!! très beautiful !!!! 

[SexualiesGee]

I so would want to marry a hawaian man :D

[luckymeloa]

@SexualiesGee  mee too!!

[mdt2281]

LUV THIS.... Love my Reichel .... love my home.... I miss you my O'ahu.... My Kaua'i.... You will always be my home.... swak! Aloha Nui Loa....

[mminer58]

Wow, what a beautiful song. Just as nice as any pop, r&b, or rock ballad. Lovely! And, what about those backup vocals. Chicken skin brah!

[Oombalah]

I am so proud to be Hawaiian. People trip out when I say I'm Hawaiian because I look full on Asian. lol. I acknowledge my Hawaiian side greatly.

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@karebear0410 thank youu! finally someone who agrees with me! who knows, the person that was "rude" to you, maybe wasnt even hawaiian? they were probably some really dark kid of something? so really, you cant just assume that that person was hawaiian because of the color of his/her skin. unless of course you asked them that they were hawaiian?

[TheHawaiianIkaika]

I like his comment too XD Represent!

[skux333]

You guys Language is Beautiful just like as Maori people. I must say its one of the best in the world. I love this song. This guy is a amazing singer..

[ratgirlfk]

@hayden96792 speaking for "white men".... I truely wish I could see the Hawaiin beauty as it was originally. I love Hawaii, It's culture, it's nature, it's spirit, it's language. I wish I had some Hawaiian in me.

[Keliiholokai89]

@ratgirlfk I really like your comment =) i speak for "hawaiians" mahalo!

[mrconveen]

Beautiful video :) Great songtrack - we visit the Hawaiian Islands every year, my sister lives in Hilo on the Big Island & we also have friends on Kauai and Molokai. I think you guys have "got it right" out there!

[rayhaku]

too bad our island's not like this as much as it was prior to 2005

[tubedude101]

@hayden96792 your heritage is spanish and chinese?

[oyadomarig10]

@hayden96792 A heritage is not stored in the blood of a person. It is in their hearts and minds. Even though a Hawaiian may mate with someone who is not of Hawaiian decent, their pride does not dwindle.

[zevadav]

I love Hawaii, I wish I could go back. This song makes me want to go so bad. I wish with all my heart I could go back.

[gigimanjo]

According to leading travel magazines, travel to Hawaii from East coast is down by 41% and from the West coast by 32% !!!! Exactly what they deserve!!! All of my friends who visited Hawaii told me that they have no intentions of going again because for shorter travel and less money they have better choices !! Agree !!!

[eelnob]

Why don't you people just shut up with your rude comments and enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian scenery and the music.

[zevadav]

I love his voice, this song is wonderful. It relaxes me. I think I am going to have a glass a wine and listen to him again.

[filipinohater]

if you ever come to hawaii, just watch out for the filipinos. looking at them will take the enjoyment of seeing the beauty of this state. filipinos are super ugly especially the filipina. next time i see one, i will throw my cell phone at her.

[DeathOn3rdStreet]

@filipinohater :O wow well im filipino!!!! with some hawaiian in there!!!!!!! why hate??? you dont know me but what did filipinos ever do to you huh?!?!?!?!

[Keliiholokai89]

@filipinohater common man, what happened to one love? Im Hawaiian and sometimes i tire of not seeing locals around but thats out of our hands. Not all Filipinos are bad and not all Hawaiians are either.

[tubedude101]

@filipinohater man this filipino hater has been everywhere even in vancouver BC hating filipinos on skytrain!! I was born in phillipines I think there are too many asians in that country and I think asians and whites should step back and give the pure hawaiins a chance to control there own country!!

[AkariSamax3]

@tubedude101 Let's not feed the troll. :)

[tubedude101]

@AkariSamax3 No the Hawaiians are never trolls. If the japanese never attacked pearl harbour there wouldn't of been massive immigration of ASIANS, whites, ect we would see entire Hawaiians ruling there own country instead of ethnics. It's there country we need to give it back to the rightful owners!!

[AkariSamax3]

@tubedude101 xD I was talking about the Filipino hater. o_O

[kboi75]

@filipinohater - If we ever see your face guarantee a brick in your face, now that shit will give Hawaii the something to look at...

[poptartrock]

i have yet to go heree.. im only 15 but i will go here someday. and my life will be complete:)

[gigimanjo]

I was in Big Island two weeks ago with great expectations....but this was the worst vacation in my life...Hawaiians are rude, disrespectful and they DO hate white people...well I have news for you, if it's not for tourists(among them the white race) you would eat leaves like you did before. Aloha hospitality? Big bait for naive tourists...

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@gigimanjo sure, we hawaiians may be rude, but jeez, get over it. white people are JUST AS RUDE, and a lot more snooty cause they think that the world revolves around them. im pretty sure you've been rude ONCE in your life.

[gigimanjo]

@LalaHawaiiLove No, I am not talking about sporadic rudeness, I am talking about people everywhere we go... and i am so disappointed about it, I wish we did not choose Hawaii in the first place. And there is no Hawaiian" race" !! they are mix of different races...if you think they would be better without any tourists and money from them...you are wrong. It is the bitter feeling that they don't want you or don't like you for no reason...that's a souvenir I got from Hawaii..Sad...

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@gigimanjo hah. well, you must've been staying in the tourism side of the country then. not just white people deal with this kind of rudeness you know. we deal with it everyday from other races and even our own races somethimes. but you know, we get over it, cause were better than them. and well, people everywhere you go will be rude. even if they're not hawaiian. all races are rude. there is not a race that will never be rude. not only you get bitter feelings from people. everyone does.

[KariGraydon]

@gigimanjo I'm so sorry you had a negative visit to Hawaii. Please know that although some people resent visitors, many people in the islands are aware that tourism is our #1 industry here and are grateful for people coming to stay here!

[thenorm05]

@gigimanjo I'm sure the rest of the native Americans on the continent hate white people for no reason either(sarcasm). You don't even have to be white to be an outsider, which is enough to be excluded, and this is true of everyone; even white people(who are better at it).

[KariGraydon]

@LalaHawaiiLove I dont think an ethnic background determines rudeness, and its not white people who think the world revolves around them, its Americans in general. People come to our islands expecting to experience the Aloha we are known for and instead are harassed because people who have the same skin color scammed the Native Hawaiians. I admit I get grouchy when visitors are clogging the streets and the beaches, but I am smart enough to know where our money comes from.

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@KariGraydon this is the point i am getting to. gigimanjo said that the hawaiians were rude. do you really know that those people who were rude to him/her were really truly hawaiian? for all you know, they could've been a really dark asian, or filipino. you never know. im just saying that he/her thought that the people being rude to them were hwaiian because they had dark skin. you dont know that theyre hawaiian until you actually ask them if they are. thats just the point i was trying to get to

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@KariGraydon and i just want people to stop blaming us for all the "rudeness" we cause everyone, because for all they know, the people doing that actually cause that arent even us.

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@gigimanjo and to be honest, i think that hawaii would BE better off if white people never showed up in the first place. just think. all the tourists and immigrants came and wiped out almost the whole hawaiian race cause of you people. we were a thriving civilization before you people had to show up. maybe you should brush up on your hawaiian history before you start to open your mouth and be the rude one in the end.

[Sumer61]

Thank you for your kind words. My parents were precious to me.

[msh464]

i'm moving to Hawaii fron nyc and i'm so happy excited..

[cutiypie1]

@msh464 kool =) do u meen hawaii, hawaii (big island) or a diffrent island?

[LalaHawaiiLove]

@msh464 hawaii is a great place to stay. hmmm, you should stay on the country side of hawaii. country is always the best.

[BloodQueen100]

Omg i am startin to miss home.....

[pjplmt200]

[DirkHVM]

We two in the waters The sighing waters of Kahuloa Hold back the driven current O my love answer me Restrain those waters Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart Glide on those waters as they sparkle O my dear one, acknowledge me Then release the torrent Waters of passion, burning the skin Indulge until you are satiated O my beloved, respond to me Lyrics in Englsh from Keali'i Reichel "Kamalei" CD - Collection Two provided by Dirk - with warmest ALOHA

[cam8o8]

@DirkHVM cheee Hawaiian

[Sumer61]

@DirkHVM Powerful lyrics. What a beautiful song. :)

[DirkHVM]

Aloha Charmaine. Thank you - even though I cannot take credit for the song or the lyrics. You however impressed me deeply with the video tribute that you made for your parents - trust me, the are proud of you and smiling from above ... knowing that they did a great job in raising you. That truly deserves respect and consideration for your artistry. Stay healthy and happy - the warmest Aloha to you and your family. Dirk

[fer08ssf]

I've been lucky enought to visit hawaii 3 times now and What I feel every time I'm there is hard to explain is just something unique, and I'm not talking about all the fancy hotels in waikiki or all the restaurants, I'm talking about the flowers, the waters, the mountains, the language, the dirt and the sand. It doesn't feel like the 50th state it feels like it's own place! FREE HAWAII.

[rachelzinger]

A beautiful video, thanks for sharing.

It brings back such fond memories of living on Oahu for a while. I can still hear the peacocks and smell the Plumeria.

[SPAM62855]

I really never noticed how lucky i am to live on these islands. Im very thankful. Thanks for opening my Eyes. I really do appreciate it. I am a very lucky young hawaiian boy. Thanks.

[Vavauboi]

What's a good song to hula for a wedding?

[thedoctorTroy]

My biggest dream in life is to visit Hawaii some day. It is the reason why I ´m learning English, it is the reason I wake up every morning. I feel my dream is getting closer everyday.

[Keliiholokai89]

Aaaw thats very sweet. And we Welcome you here to Hawaii any day =)

[thedoctorTroy]

Thank you my Hawaiian friend!! See you.

[Moonlightwolfpup]

Very pretty Thanks Cindy for the share

[kilmacuagh]

I visited Hawaii on my way back from Australia during the summer and it took my breathe away.......... I went to Pearl Harbour and around the island, did a bit of kayaking...... wow wow wow..... also met 1 other Irish person besides myself and my friends, definately going back but to visit the other less touristy islands.

[reeseg808]

I'm so happy to be able to live in Hawaii, it's such a beautiful place. Ocean breeze, sunset, warm air, beautiful beaches...I can't ask for anything, besides the fact of my life

[hawaiianpineapplez]

I hope heaven is this beautiful!!!

[MrdoylefH]

Mahalo! What beautiful moments and places God has provided for us! This is my most favorite place on this earth! You have done a beautiful job in captivating the true glory of these islands. I am convinced when I arrive in heaven God will meet me with Aloha and orchids.

[Fatdeh24]

Until you come back, you dont realize the true beauty of hawaii. Unitl i hiked in one of its rainforests i realized it was so different from florida and the entire united states. Its natrual tropical beauty makes it unforgetting.

[halopa246]

Wow! Wow! Wow! The natural beauty of Hawai'i and the soulful sounds of Keali'i's voice make me long to be in Hawai'i again and pull at my heart strings so deeply I cannot hold back the tears.

Mahalo for this post!

[samuelsotogarcia]

i swear Keal'ii has the most soothing, beautiful voices in the world!! I have to see him in concert soon..like tomorrow!! I love all of our Hawaiian singers...

[GinsPlace]

Mahalo. You took me back home if just for a moment.

[merenia5]

[JoMamaLV]

Truly beautiful! Mahalo!

[vutukini]

I absolutely love this song

[ms21020]

I love the dolphin in the video!

[DoubleDutchBust]

Thats A Bunch

EightyNinEo Mai

Keali'i Reichel

[NoobAssault]

He talks About His Moms Or Grandmas house On The Ocean ANd He Likes The View And Waves Im 89% Hawaiian So I SHould No

[sunchamber]

So the lyrics I found aren´t correct then? Cause they were on an official website for the album E O Mai anyway....

But I also read that the song is about calling out your dead, beloved ones names and they will come back. The dead ones will live if you say their names - something...

Pretty hard to find any translation at all to this song btw...=)

[TheMistressoEvilOmen]

Come to me, my darling, I am surrounded by the choicest fragrance of ginger, My emotions are on edge at the sound of your voice, Calling for me in the dark night. Respond, my toy, The shadows of the night envelope and surround me, And I turn to find the beauty of your love everlasting. For you, this song of love, A brilliant ray of love as we embrace, A love everlasting, Respond, my darling. English: verbatim

[sunchamber]

That´s exactly what I wrote down here before, take a look. But are not 100% sure that the the translation are the right one..

[tuhre]

Haha Im 89% Hawaiian so i should know ! Faaa thats crack ! haha watta funny one ! lol

[sunchamber]

...hope the translations are right now...found them on a website for the album Eo Mai anyway...

Love from Sweden...;)

[sunchamber]

...and the lyrics for the third verse of the song comes here;

Puhemo i ka wai

Wai welawela ho`eha i ka `ili

E inu i ka wai a kena

E ku`u aloha, e o mai

[sunchamber]

Kaua i kai wai

Wai olohia o Kahualoa

Kokohi i ka wai puhia

E ku`u aloha, e o mai

(Repeat)

Kaomi i ka wai

Wai mapuna ha`ale i ka poli

Pahe`e i ka wai lohia

E ku`u aloha, e o mai

(Repeat)

[sunchamber]

...couldn´t help myself, my last comment is the translation of Eo Mai - that means "Answer me" btw...

[sunchamber]

Come to me, my darling, I am surrounded by the choicest fragrance of ginger, My emotions are on edge at the sound of your voice, Calling for me in the dark night. Respond, my toy, The shadows of the night envelope and surround me, And I turn to find the beauty of your love everlasting. For you, this song of love, A brilliant ray of love as we embrace, A love everlasting, Respond, my darling.

[sunchamber]

Found english lyrics for this song at a webpage with both hawaian and english lyrics...do you want me to write them down here?

[1stCavVet1969]

The words and translation are in the liner notes of the CD Eo Mai. I have it, but cant find it right now

[dotdotdotyoyoyo]

What's this song about in english?

[dotdotdotyoyoyo]

This song is great to wake up to. it's beautiful :)

[guajira777]

this song is beauitiful

[mukazzi]

The English lyrics are one of the most guarded secrets I've ever seen. No matter how many people have asked for them, they don't appear. There are only three verses, each repeated twice. It's very easy to learn this phonetically. It's still -and likely will be- one of the most beautifully sung songs I've ever heard.

[Nightshadow9999]

Simply beautiful T-T

[flipjitsu]

I love how it sounds.. Can anyone translate it, please.. thanks!

[BLUEATOMS]

this song makes me want to cry... so sweet.

[lauracarlson]

What a beautiful voice...what beautiful heaven on earth is Hawaii...

[maemaedoremi]

I love this song by Reichel. My Hula teacher is teaching us to dance with this song. Please check out my video on Youtube, search "Kate Obama Together" to enjoy more of Hawaii.

Thank you for this beautiful slide show.

[Junoboys3000]

very soothing :)

Ps. HI

[LarryinDFW]

I've been away from Hawaii for almost 10 years living in Texas.. Thanks for bringing me home and reminding me of a better time when things were less complex.

[vanilla0307]

kealii reichel is mai uncle he has a very good voice :)

[nanikealani]

Keali'i Reichel is one amazing entertainer w/ the MOST soothing voice! His hula isn't too tuff on the eyes either! nani
