  • Inspired by the recent events on Maunakea, some of Hawaiʻi’s most notable and accomplished recording artists and composers joined their voices to record “Kū Haʻaheo E Kuʻu Hawaiʻi.” Composed by Hinaleimoana Wong, this mele has become a rallying call for our lāhui to aloha ʻāina.
    “Kū Haʻaheo” will be included on a soon to be released album entitled “Kūhaʻo Maunakea” - a compilation featuring 18 new compositions documenting the events and swell of Hawaiian community unity around aloha ʻāina associated with the Kū Kiaʻi Mauna movement.
    The album will be available digitally through iTunes in late September and 100% of all sales will be donated to the Hawaiian Unity and Liberation Institute (HULI), which provides logistical support to the protectors on the frontline of Maunakea. Donations to HULI can be made at actionnetwork.....
    Lyrics & Translation
    Kū Haʻaheo E Kuʻu Hawaiʻi
    by Hinaleimoana Wong
    Kaiko’o ka moana kā i lana nei Hawai’i
    Nāueue a hālulu ka honua a Haumea
    Nākulukulu e ka lani ki’eki’e kau mai i luna
    Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
    *Ho’ōho:
    Kū ha’aheo e ku’u Hawai’i
    Mamaka kaua o ku’u ‘āina
    ‘O ke ehu kakahiaka o nā ‘ōiwi o Hawai’i nei
    No ku’u lahui e hā’awi pau a i ola mau
    Auhea wale ‘oukou pū’ali koa o Keawe
    Me ko Kamalālāwalu la me Kākuhihewa
    ‘Alu mai pualu mai me ko Manokalanipō
    Ka’i mai ana me nā kama a Kahelelani
    E nāue imua e nā poki’i a e inu wai ‘awa’awa
    E wiwo’ole a ho’okūpa’a ‘a’ohe hope e ho’i mai ai
    A na’i wale nō kākou kaukoe mau i ke ala
    Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
    E lei mau i lei mau kākou e nā mamo aloha
    I lei wehi ‘a’ali’i wehi nani o ku’u ‘āina
    Hoe a mau hoe a mau no ka pono sivila
    A ho’iho’i hou ‘ia mai ke kū’oko’a
    Translation
    The sea of Hawai’i surges in turmoil
    The earth of Haumea rumbles and shakes
    The highest heavens shudder up above
    Alas! Woeful indeed are the heartless foreigners
    *Stand tall my Hawai’i
    Band of warriors of my land
    The new dawn for our people of Hawai’i is upon us
    For my nation I give my all so that our legacy lives on
    Where are you soldiers of Keawe
    Along with those of Maui and O’ahu
    Unite, join together with those of Kaua’i
    Marching alongside the descendants of Ni’ihau
    Move forward young ones and drink of the bitter waters
    Be fearless, steadfast for there is no turning back
    Let’s press onward straight on the path of victory
    Alas! Woeful are the heartless foreigners!
    Be honored always oh beloved descendants of the land
    Let us wear the honored ‘a’ali’i of our beloved land
    Paddle on in our pursuit of civil justice
    Until our dignity and independence is restored

    The pure emotion in the room. I may not be a native Hawaiian. I always try to learn the meaning of the song and try to translate the song. I know that it’s been a while since my visit to Hawaii. But it’s sad that you have to reclaim the land of your ancestors due to ignorance of others. I applaud and appreciate that you honor your ancestors, and honor every thing around you including life.

    I come from a people of lost heritage for I am African American. In most cases, it is impossible to know of our native ancestors and traditions, which is why I feel deeply for indigenous people, but especially those in the paradise of your native land, Hawaii. My son, who is now deceased, lived in Honolulu for two years. When he returned home, he spoke of the beauty there, an in Maui. The native people welcomed him as they opened their heart to Him. As a mother, I cannot put into words how much that meant to me. It is my dream to trod where he once was, and to meet the wonderful people of Hawaii. When I discovered this video, I broke into tears. How my heart weeps for your struggle not to loose your unique identity. Though I don’t know your language, but I feel from my core, you proudly sing of who you are as a people, and your beautiful land-and once again I cry like a baby. May you keep up the fight; please never give up, for the Creator made you to be just as you are-a beautiful people.

    Had the privilege to be a part of a conference on Oahu where Kumu Hina was the keynote speaker. Her speech on our Kuleana to our identities, cultures, and our ourselves was very inspirational. To end her keynote address she proudly sang this mele where I proudly sang along and shed a few tears.

    Kū Ha’aheo:
    Kaiko’o moana kā i lana nei Kawai’i
    Nāueue a hālulu ka honua a Haumea
    Nākulukulu e ka Lani ki’ eki’e kau mai i luna
    Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
    * *Ho’ōho*
    Kū ha’aheo e ku’u Hawai’i
    Mamaka kaua o ku’u ‘āina
    ‘O ke ehu kakahiaka o nā ‘ōiwi o Hawai’i nei
    No ku’u lahui e hā’awi Paul a i ola mau
    Auhea wale ‘oukou pū’ali koa o Keawe
    Me ko Kamalālāwalu la me Kākuhihewa
    ‘Alu mai pualu mai me ko Manokalanipō
    Ka’i mai ana me nā kama a Kahelelani
    E nāue imua e nā poki’i a e inu wai ‘awa’awa
    E wiwo’ole a ho’okūpa’a ‘a’ohe hope e ho’i mai ai
    A na’i wale nō kākou kaukoe mau i ke ala
    Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
    E lei mau i lei mau kākou e nā mamo aloha
    I lei wehi ‘a’ali’i wehi nani o ku’u ‘āina
    Hoe a mau hoe a mau no ka pono sivila
    A ho’iho’i hou ‘ia mai ke kū’oko’a
    Translation:
    The sea of Hawai’i surges in turmoil
    The earth of Haumea rumbles and shakes
    The highest heavens shudder up above
    Alas! Woeful indeed are the heartless foreigners
    * *Stand tall my Hawai’i*
    Band of warriors of my land
    The new dawn for our people of Hawai’i is upon us
    For my nation I give my all so that our legacy lives on
    Where are you soldiers of Keawe
    Along with those of Maui and O’ahu
    Unite, join together with those of Kaua’i
    Marching alongside the descendants of Ni’ihau
    Move forward young ones and drink of the bitter waters
    Be fearless, steadfast for there is no turning back
    Let’s press onward straight on the path of victory
    Alas! Woeful are the heartless foreigners!
    Be honored always oh beloved descendants of the land
    Let us wear the honored ‘a’ali’i of our beloved land
    Paddle on in our pursuit of civil justice
    Until our dignity and independence is restored

    forgive me, for i have been raised on the mainland far, far, from the roots and traditions of my people. I do not know or understand the words, but despite the distance and disconnection on my part, even i recognize a 'Call-To-Arms'. A call to all Hawaiians to rise up, unite, and protect our home; our land; our history; our identity.

    Hello~ i moved to korea 4 years ago. I don’t know why, but I was shuffling my music and came across this song that once again brought me to tears. I think the emotion is nostalgia. I only know a few singers here, but relistening after many years, I hear the hearts of everyone.
    My 2024 goal is to be able to sing the whole song and understand the words by heart. I am not kanaka, but hawaii is my home and this is a song I had the privilege long ago to learn at least the first verse and chorus and stand by kanaka with mele and kahea. I hope everyone is well and has the strength to keep moving forward. Mahalo nui loa~
