'Shawn' My Kine Of Music v.3 (Kipahulu)

Song written by Carl Hoku Rasmussen

Kuahiwi nani `oe
E Kipahulu
Ka `i`ini pau `ole
A ka makemake

E moani ke `ala
Ka `ehukai
Ka ulu lipoa
I ka moana

E nanea ho`i kau
Ka lehulehu
Hale kipa ho`okipa
E na malihini

Kaulana mai nei
O Nu`u anu
Maika`i o ka ni`o
`Aina i ka la`i

Puana ke `ikena
O Kipahulu
Ka `i`ini pau `ole
A ke makemake

A mountain of beauty you are
O Kipahulu
Never to get enough
You are always desirable

As the gentle breezes lure the fragrant
Sea mists
Verdant is the lipoa
In the ocean

An enjoyable and peaceful stay
To those who visit
This guest home, hospitable
To all visitors

Famed are your
Upper regions
How fine it is to be
Atop in the calm

This is the refrain
Of Kipahulu
Never to get enough
You are always desired

Volume 1 & 2 is available on itunes.
Volume 3
Soon to be release.

Just beautiful Shawny A wonderful version of this lovely song. It has always been one of my favorites.

[wjc1952]

Sweet. This was so very beautiful. I am running out of superlatives, but that does not change how good the music is. I going go hunt a thesaurus.

But you say coming soon. When already? Auntie is not getting any younger.

Me ke aloha,

Auntie Wanda
