Agree with first part of your statement about the Hawaiian origine. The modern version of it from the 1930's is credited to Prince Leleiohaku and John Avery Noble ( called Johnny Noble), born Honolulu 1892 .Think he knewed a lot of Hawaiian culture. Chris.

@cenotosa1 how does it sound hawaiian,this is not the traditional hawaiian sound,i think you mean probabaly hawaiian rock-n-roll i think thats what its called,
The song was written by Prince Leleiohoku, the brother to two of Hawaii's ruling monarchs, in about the 1860s.
The original song, in Hawaiian, was about a loving encounter in a moist, fern-covered bower. Many Hawaiian songs of this period, like this one, had lyrics which poetically and allegorically described sex.
Various versions followed. The fake "Hawaiian" lyrics, along with the English ones, were written by an American with no knowledge of Hawaiian culture and published in the 1930s.
