Alohamy kupuna...here is the completed song...finally! LOL I know the tempo is slower than what we do with our magicians, but this will work as an instructional video. *:)

Emily Kekahaloa Namau'u Taylor, from Ka'u, wrote this song in 1951 for the remake of the movie "Bird of Paradise." The poem was set to the melody of Ku'u Lei Pupu, a tune that she remembered from her childhood.

'Auhea la 'oe e ke aloha
'Awapuhi pala o ka ua noe
A eia no me a'u
I ka poli o ke aloha

Where are you, my love
Like the ginger, covered in the misty rain
Here, I am with you
In love's sweet embrace
