Kananaka - Keali'i Reichel video free download

Lahaina, Maui is celebrated for the Ma'a'a wind, bringing the scent of līpoa from surf where the mermaid, Kananaka, plays in the moonlight. *Lyrics below*

Lyrcis:

`O ka pā mai a ka Ma`a`a

Halihali mai ana lā i ke `ala

He `ala onaona o ka līpoa

Hana `oe a kani pono

Hana `oe a kani pono

Hui:

Nani wale ia pu`e one lā

I ka nalu he`e mai a`o Kananaka

Kahi a mākou a i he`e ai

I ka `ehu`ehu o ke kai

I ka `ehu`ehu o ke kai

`O ka mahina hiki aloalo

Ho`ola`ila`i ana lā i nā pali

Pōhina wehiwehi i ke onaona

Koni ma`e`ele i ke kino

Koni ma`e`ele i ke kino

English Translation:

The blowing of the Ma`a`a wind

Bears with it a fragrance

A sweet scent on the līpoa seaweed

Get to it until you are satisfied

Get to it until you are satisfied

Chorus:

Beautiful indeed in the stretch of sand

With the surf break of Kananaka

Where we had ridden the waves

There amid the spray of the sea

There amid the spray of the sea

The moon reaches its zenith in the sky

Reposing serenely there above the cliffs

A silvery gleam, lush with fragrance

Bringing a throb and a tingle to the body

Bringing a throb and a tingle to the body
