Makee 'Ailana

Had a great time playing with Slack Key Guitar legend Cyril Pahinui at Boulevard Music in Culver City Feb 11, 2011. Heard but mostly unseen is Jim "Kimo" West sitting on Cyril's left. Sometimes ya just gotta keep it simple whilst enjoying what's going on around you....

Makee `ailana ke aloha lâ
`Âina i ka `ehu`ehu o ke kai

`Elua `ekolu nô mâkou
I ka `ailana mâhiehie

Ka leo o ka wai ka`u aloha
I ka `î mai ê anu kâua

Inâ `o you me mî nei
Noho `oe i ka noho paipai

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Makee `Ailana hu`e ka mana`o

I love Makee island
Land freshened by the sea spray

There were two or three couples with us
On this charming island

I love the sound of the water
When it speaks, we two are chilled

I wish you were here with me
Sitting in the rocking chair

The story is told of
Makee Ailana, with its fond memories

Yo Mitch. this was so good. Wish you had added the music as well as the words, though. Dar and I both loved this, though. Thanks
