This video was made purposefully for my IB Musical Links Investigation. Because weebly does not allow audio to be inserted into the website, I had to incorporate my audio into a YouTube video to be able to play on my website.
Queen Lili'uokalani composed Aloha'Oe while under house arrest at the Iolani Palace. The song displays the beautiful, traditional culture of Hawaii, while at the same time weaving in hints of Western influences.
From the album: Authentic Polynesia 1 - Hawaii & Tonga
Genre: World
Lyrics:
Ha'aheo ka ua i na pali
Ke nihi a'ela i ka nahele
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko
Pua 'ahihi lehua o uka
Chorus
Aloha 'oe, aloha 'oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace
A ho'i a'e au
Until we meet again
'O ka hali'a aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone a'e nei i
Ku'u manawa
'O 'oe no ka'u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei
Chorus
Maopopo ku'u 'ike i ka nani
Na pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hia'ia na manu
Miki'ala i ka nani o ka lipo
Chorus
