Ukulele Underground thanks for this wonderful video. My mother has been wanting me to play this for a long time! also could you guys do a play along for John Lennon's Beautiful Boy? It would make my family happy because we played that song at my little brother's funeral. Thanks and aloha! -Shane
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "how do i start learning the ukulele?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fenaylern Nonpareil Formula - (just google it ) ? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to play the ukulele like a pro without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
My Great-great Grandfather's name was Robert Napunako Boyd. This song was written for him by Queen Liliuokalani about the feelings she had for him, as she left his home in Mauna Wili Valley. He was a sea Captain that became very important to Kamehameha, was the first Harbor Master in Hawaii, and the first King's Admiral for his fleet. The King gave my GGGF the land, and he turned it into a large farm, producing many essential produce for the Honolulu Market in the mid-1800s. The Queen and my GGGF had a love "interest", but after several weeks at his farm estate, she sadly was made to return to the palace in Honolulu because of her duties. She penned this song of love because of her sadness/love relating to leaving him. When it was first presented it was a very lovely tribute. But now, it is thrown around like a popular pineapple-eating-grass-skirt-wearing-tourist song completely lacking the intention or reason why the song was written. You are mistaken, this IS NOT the song the Queen wrote as she shed her tears for her people as she was put under ARREST BY THE ILLEGAL coup by the United States!!! Please read the real history of the stealing of Hawaii lands, and how The Kingdom Of Hawaii still exist, and was recognized this century by the World courts, the U.N. and the Hague. Thank you.
@@kamgradsr7418 Mahalo nui loa for sharing this in history, there was a-short film or story that yes, this was told. I’ll try to find it a post it, most respect to you and much Aloha,,,,, I’m very moved by Hawaii’s real history. It’s very important. Bless! 💜🦋💜
English translation The rain proudly lulls by the cliff And quietly brushes through the forest It hones in at the core The Lehua Flower of the vale. [Chorus:] Goodbye, goodbye The sweet and gentle one living in the distance One fond embrace I leave Until we meet again Fond memories bring me back And renew sweet ones Of times past Goodbye, my love You are mine regardless [Chorus] I realize your beauty The fragrant rose of Maunawili Right over there, by the lovebirds Drinking its nectar.
Why the thumbs down? What's to dislike about it? Beautiful singing and playing, and authentic rendition of a Hawaiian classic, not like the corrupted ("hollywood") versions you often hear.
I may or may not be wrong but it might have to be about the fact that queens liluokalani wrote and sang this song when she was being overthrown. Even though it is a beautiful song, there is sad history behind it
Because her Hawaiian might have an English/American accent. I didn't thumb down so I can't tell the exact reason. This version might be better: ruclips.net/video/JLlcMnrGuEc/видео.html
@@Lucifer-cc8qx They're over exaggerating. Every song she has written, were danced to with hula. So therefore, they shouldn't be so hesitant to connect with her sorrow. The song was originally written when Queen Liliu'okalani saw two lovers said goodbyes before they depart. This is before she transcribed later now referenced to her overthrow. Even if it's about her, why else she shared this song with her people? To sympathize a lover, losing something she hold dear to her heart. Idk about you guys, but that scene with Lilo and Nani, portrays very well with this song.
"Queen Lili‘uokalani (1838-1917), born in Honolulu and the daughter of a high chief and chieftess, was the first sovereign queen, and the last monarch of Hawai‘i. Lili‘uokalani dedicated much of her reign to restoring native Hawaiian rights, but a group of American plantation and business owners, backed by the U.S. military, staged a coup to overthrow her in 1893."
Even though there's a video explaining the history of this song, I've not watched it yet (it's on my bucket list). But just knowing this little bit, from both of you guys is fascinating as it is... if fascinating is the right word, @JH-kh9lf included. Thanks for sharing.
@@Arctic_Adjuster free people don’t like being conquered, but if roads and amenities makes up for it in your mind then there’s no point in having a conversation about that.
I have been listening to this song all day as I pray for the people of Maui. I cannot imagine the loss they are feeling right now. The devastation of the fires is unreal. They say it is raining in Maui today. Perhaps it is the tears of Queen Liliuokalani for her people. They are praying the rain will clear the mountain range & reach Lahainah 🌧️ 💔 🌸
Only my humble opinion but this is the best version I have ever heard. Sung and played exactly how it should be, simply and with emotion straight from the heart.
Mahalo you guys, my uncle who lives on oahu is passing and I was searching for the perfect parting gift for my family there, untill I came across this. You inspired me to learn how to play, sing, dance, and record the performance for this song with my last living grand parent and one of my close uncle's. thank you for putting this video up, because it will help so much with my project. BEAUTIFUL! aloha!
I’ll never forget visiting Iolani Palace and listening to this as they took us to the room with the quilt where Queen Lili'uokalani was held. So much emotion and sorrow in one room.
I love to hear her singing this song. This is the best version I have ever seen. Listening to it more than 10 times already but I still want to hear again .
The naturallity , the simplicity , the purity of this video gives it such a heavenly presentation, I have considered it one of the best musical videos of the times . I have watched it more than 50 times and continue to do so as a therapeutic meditation. God Bless This Hawaiian trio and there beloved belated Queen for such a lovely song .
Listening to this days after the attack in my hometown, Christchurch. Maori and Hawaiian culture have many commonalities, and this beautiful and sad song applies to the current sorrow there. Kia Kaha and Aloha Nui Loa x
Being stationed out here with the navy is crazy. Everyone seems to just go wild with all the tourist destinations but hawaii seems to have a bittersweet melody to it. I have to leave eventually. Hawaii once you have been here a while feels like a very fond memory from a very long time ago. It chokes me up, there is magic here.
Add my tears, for I miss Hawaii every day. Not the land, for Islands are many. I miss the smiles, the embrace of ohana and the simple joys of true friendship.
Travelling to Oahu and Maui and watching Lilo and Stitch as a kid really made me fall in love with Hawaiian music. I still remember every word ♥ Beautiful playing, and singer
I am a Filipino but I do love this very beautiful heart rendering melody song from HAWAII especially my parents temporary stayed and lived in Honolulu for Almost 5yrs...Such song left a mark on Me!!!
This song always make sad. I spent 3 years in Hawaii... Ww had afamily reunion in Waikiki Christmas 2021 but due to Covid many places were not open... also Waikiki is so changed since since 1974.. I still miss Hawaii... so glad people hold on to their customs..
I remember as a child growing up in Hawaii in the early 60s, my Kindergarten teacher use to play this classic piece to us, and taught us the meaning behind it. It was just as important to remember this, along with our Star Spangled Banner.......We need to bring back these again 😇🙏🙏👍

I've been wanting a good ukulele for a while now and have recently swapped a banjo/guitar for a banjo/uke. So, now I have to start the learning process all over again PLUS as in this case, learn a new language too! What fun. Never too old to learn, I'll be 70 next birthday. Aloha Oe
What a delight to find my beautiful Hula Sister Kahealani & ohana sharing this treasured Hawaiian mele. Your singing is so gorgeous… straight from your precious Molokai’i Soul. Kauai’iki would love this! Aloha nui loa, Sharona 😘🙏🏽🌈✨🌸
I love this song, I always think of Hawaii when I hear this I get chocked up when I hear it, so beautiful I could listen to it all day, pust me in a happy mood.
Preparing for a funeral service tomorrow out of town (this song requested) and always love listening to this beautiful woman’s version. Thank you for sharing.
OMG do I ever love this!!! It randomly arrived in my feed and blew me away. And then, after listening to that hauntingly beautiful song, the smile on that young lady’s face, it just melted me. I think that I’m going to pick up a Uke soon!
Lost in a world without My Dad R.I.P. Rudy van Dalm one of the pedal steel guitar player with the album greetings from Hawaii "' Aloha to You '", heard the song Hawaiian wedding song. A style of music that is unique , alive and vibrant. When his golden voice begins to flow his audience BEGINS TO SENSE THAT IS IN THE PRESENCE OF A MAN WHO HAS MASTERED HIS MUSIC. Miss you Dad !!! I am blessing with all your wonderful songs Dad. "" I STILL LOVE YOU."" Dad this is for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Flying with Mom your angel.
Dear Kahea, Randell and Aldrine, thanks for your interpretation of this touching song, your playalong and lesson! Very well done! It's awaking sympathy over continents, years and generations ...
Thank you for sharing this performance! We traveled to the Hawaiian Islands for the first time, last year. We will never forget seeing your wonderful islands and meeting your warm and friendly people. We live in Florida, so Hawaii is far away. I will keep this recording as a wonderful reminder of our magical experience. My best and warmest good wishes to you!...Will Ortiz (Central Florida, USA)
Watching Space Dandy. I always found his Ship named "Aloha Oe" funky with the colors and the Aloha Oe Mascot (woman painting with traditional Hawaiian outfit with a laser space pistol). But then I found this song and then it hit me. The ending of Space Dandy coincides with this Aloha Oe Song that hits where it hurts !
This afternoon I purchased my first Ukulele and thanks to you guys this is the first tune I have learnt. For me I have always associated this song with Hawaii and the Ukulele. As a kid in the late 60's and early70's this tune was always the one the movies used whenever there was a scene set in the South Pacific. I have always wanted to learn it and now I can thanks to you guys. Many thanks from a happy Ukulele novice in England
They break everything they touch still to this day ! What a different place Hawaii may have been if she had been left to rule! Salute the author and last Queen of Hawaii!🌹
@@josesousa5877 I don't know her name either? Hawaii has always been on my " bucket" list! If I ever get to go,I'll look these people up & find out & get her autograph!
Thank you to everyone who made this production and post possible. Such a beautiful version, artistry, camera work, and great tabulature guidance. Wow! This was exactly what I was searching for.
Love it, so glad I found your site.... My late sister Virginia who died at 20 years old loved every thing Hawaiian.... Back in the 40s she played Hawaiian music on her Hawaiian guitar and always wanted to visit Hawaii.... She even owned a grass skirt.... Sadly she passed away and never got to go.... This reminded me so much of her and brought tears to me eyes.... Thank you...
Absolute perfection, I have heard this many times over the years, this is by far the very best. If this does not give you the "Aloha virus" there is no hope for you, Aloha
My third grade teacher was from Hawai’i and she would teach her class this song every year. And they would perform it at the end of the year along with singing and dancing to pearly shells. She died when i was in 8th grade. This song reminds me of her and how much i miss her. I know the day i pass i will get to see her again. I learned this song on the uke and i sing it all the time. aloha wau iā 'oe. Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe E ke onaona noho i ka lipo One fond embrace, A hoʻi aʻe au Until we meet again Mrs Cook
It is no accident that Pacific Islanders have the most beautiful songs of farewell on earth. It has to be that as voyaging peoples they know far too well the pain of saying goodbye to loved ones who leave. They know too that beauty can ease pain. Just look up Maori, Samoan and Fijiian farewell songs.
Beautiful music ❤. And beautiful singing Song reminds me of my beautiful wife Judy ❤❤❤❤ I miss her so much and love her 😂😂😂❤. Miss you Yobo 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is one of those perfect times to click the gear icon and open settings for the video. Then set the speed to .75 for your learning/listening pleasure. Absolutely beautiful!
Every Sunday, the Royal Hawaiian Band plays this at the end of their concert with Piilani Smith dancing. Every one stands, just as they do for the National Anthem played at the beginning of the concert. The sadness is that we shall never meet again.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. It gave me the chills listening to this. Never realized how beautiful this song was until I heard the whole thing. Kahea has a beautiful voice. Makes me want to visit the islands again. Yes, until we meet again.
I love this song...first time I heard it when I was about 4 years old from my father's LP. He loved this song so much along with some LP of Jim Reeves and The Platters he brought from Rotterdam November 1974...thank you for this beautiful song...

Recently lost my Mama. She was born in Hawaii. This has been stuck in my head. Absolutely the most beautiful version I have ever heard. ❤
Find the original of queen singing it. Can feel the mana❤ aloha❤
English translation
The rain proudly lulls by the cliff
And quietly brushes through the forest
It hones in at the core
The Lehua Flower of the vale.
[Chorus:]
Goodbye, goodbye
The sweet and gentle one living in the distance
One fond embrace
I leave
Until we meet again
Fond memories bring me back
And renew sweet ones
Of times past
Goodbye, my love
You are mine regardless
[Chorus]
I realize your beauty
The fragrant rose of Maunawili
Right over there, by the lovebirds
Drinking its nectar.
thank you that is lovely
What a beautiful song!

Thanks. A lot

Saw Train to Busan today and as soon as this played, I bawled my eyes out. Such a beautiful song.
Liliuokalani will always be our queen. 💓
Queen ❤️❤️
How can she sing this song without tearing? That’s a feat in itself.
Are you comparing her to your own ❄️ manor
I'm trying to practice my uke and I keep sniffling, tearing up and reaching for a handkerchief. It's not often that a piece of music hits me so hard.
A more beautiful song cannot be found, finally an Angel has touched the ground
Beautifully done. For me, I'm old school. So it's sad. Brings back the past. I'll accept the present. Mahalo nui. Aloha.

Kāhealani Hāmākua, SO beautiful, You can almost see her lineage.. Could have been a QUEEN... now Lost... without a Kingdom...
It's almost as if Queen Liliuokalani was singing this haunting, heartbreakingly beautiful farewell, through Kahealani Hamakua.....
She is a queen. Striking.
The lady singing is so beautiful…And has a beautiful voice. Love it! I’ve watched this video several times with a smile. Love it when she smiles.
I've been ask to play ukulele at my friend's memorial. This is the song I chose, I hope I can find the strength.

But then I found this song and then it hit me.

Oh my God, her beautiful voice!
Beautiful. In fact, perfect. I studied the background of the song. I sing it to my wife at my yearly visits to her grave
Love it, so glad I found your site.... My late sister Virginia who died at 20 years old loved every thing Hawaiian.... Back in the 40s she played Hawaiian music on her Hawaiian guitar and always wanted to visit Hawaii.... She even owned a grass skirt.... Sadly she passed away and never got to go.... This reminded me so much of her and brought tears to me eyes.... Thank you...

@@onlylauri you have a problem,?....
Absolute perfection, I have heard this many times over the years, this is by far the very best. If this does not give you the "Aloha virus" there is no hope for you, Aloha
My third grade teacher was from Hawai’i and she would teach her class this song every year. And they would perform it at the end of the year along with singing and dancing to pearly shells. She died when i was in 8th grade. This song reminds me of her and how much i miss her. I know the day i pass i will get to see her again. I learned this song on the uke and i sing it all the time. aloha wau iā 'oe.
Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe E ke onaona noho i ka lipo One fond embrace, A hoʻi aʻe au
Until we meet again Mrs Cook
How nice that you have such a wonderful memory of her.
It is no accident that Pacific Islanders have the most beautiful songs of farewell on earth. It has to be that as voyaging peoples they know far too well the pain of saying goodbye to loved ones who leave. They know too that beauty can ease pain. Just look up Maori, Samoan and Fijiian farewell songs.
I really don’t know anything about Hawaii but I am learning this on my ukulele! Such a pretty song! ❤️😊

This is one of those perfect times to click the gear icon and open settings for the video. Then set the speed to .75 for your learning/listening pleasure. Absolutely beautiful!
Every Sunday, the Royal Hawaiian Band plays this at the end of their concert with Piilani Smith dancing. Every one stands, just as they do for the National Anthem played at the beginning of the concert. The sadness is that we shall never meet again.
Very beautiful Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. It gave me the chills listening to this. Never realized how beautiful this song was until I heard the whole thing. Kahea has a beautiful voice. Makes me want to visit the islands again. Yes, until we meet again.
