Attributed to Alvin K. Isaacs Sr, this mele with eight verses is a Kauaʻi family song. Kōʻula (red sugar cane) is the old name of a valley and stream in Hanapēpē. Manawaiopuna (stream branch of Puna), the 200 foot waterfall at the lower end of Kōʻula is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Hawaiʻi. Unfortunately, it is almost inaccessible.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
How beautiful is the rain of Kōʻula
The misty rain, little drops
Way up high is the beautiful rainbow
Proudly behold its beauty over the trees
Famous this spring Manawaiopuna
The source of the water, flowing freely
I see this beautiful waterfall
The tumbling waterfall, gliding, sliding down the pali
Picture clouds gather and rise tall
At the beginning of day, at first light
My song comes to an end, never to forget
Famous is the beauty of Manawaiopuna, source of the stream

I am a medical traveler, I have been to Kauai, Oahu and Maui on assignments. I learned to speak Hawaiian and I learned to hula. I hula for my patients.
Aloha! Just love watching hula, and lived on Big Island and Oahu for 11 years. Really enjoyed the Merrie Monarch Festival, and had friends that competed. A hui hou!
I miss Hawaii and dancing hula. I have been on all the islands. I lived in Keaau on the big island south of Hilo for over 16 years.
I love learning hula
Hello, I love all your hula videos especially the worship hula with “You are my Strength “ I have been following along and practicing for the past year. This is the next dance I am going to learn. I really like how you break everything down step by step. I also love all your beautiful dresses and outfits. Thank you for making these videos.
Aloha Kakahiaka from Oregon! Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing your gift of dance. I moved from Hawaii to Oregon in 2016 and miss hula class. I started dancing when I was a young girl 8 years of age. My kumu hula at the time was Auntie Leilani Alama in Kaimuki.
I would love to visit Kaua'i and I also want to perfect this beautiful hula.. MAHALA MAHALO IHULA
❤❤❤ Lynn love your Hula instructions! ❤❤❤
My husband and I will be visiting the island of Kauai on August 27th and cannot wait. I'm trying to learn a few dances and hoping to reflect more grace while attempting to HULA. It would be nice if you could demonstrate the hand movements a little more to achieve the gracefulness and flow of the hand movements.
Beautiful as always. Mahalo nui and malama pono
Ive missed dancing so much. I am Fijian and my dad put me in classes when I was little. Im excited to get back into it.

Mahalo 🎉
You shine Aloha!
Mahalo!! These videos are educational and fun!!
Mahalo for sharing the hula!!
Never been in Hawaiian Islands. I have lived in Tahiti. Visited New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna Islands. But my unique wish now is Hawaii. I want to visit all. Big Island, Oahu, Maui, Molokai and the garden Island Kauai one of the most beautiful. May be one day !!
❤❤I love it
I love to watch how your body sways gracefully and your hands creating a story.
Love the story telling with the dance.. looking forward to learning more.. beautiful peaceful flow..
Never been. In bucket list. Will research a way to see the fall in helicopter. Learning steps to this. Plan on performing this for my birthday party this September.
Wonderful! How is your hula coming along?
Wow. This is so relaxing... I'm hooked on Hula now. I also love how you give some extra details about the music and Hula.
Thank you for your posts. I'm learning a lot from them. I am a new resident to Hawaii from mainland USA. For years I've admired the beautiful movements of hula dance and have wanted to learn. Now that I live in Hawaii, I am even more eager to learn. I started taking a local beginning hula class last week. After my first class I went on RUclips to learn the intricacies of the hula hand movements and the footwork. Your basics videos are wonderful. Today after my 3rd hula class, I found this video of yours. I'm enjoying learning the hula to this song. The way you have broken down the steps makes it so easy to learn. Mahalo nui!
Aloha Lynn! 🤩 What a inspiration and your beautiful demonstration. Glad I found your channel. Now Im not feared of learning Hula because of you are a most wonderful teacher! Thank you very much 😊❤️
Aloha! Yes, I have been to Kauai 3 times. My brother lived on the island for several years with his family. I miss Poi' pu beach.
I learned hula as a little girl - so fun to reconnect with this. Thank you!
Lynn, you're the best teacher and a beautiful dancer! Love your instructional hula videos. I've never visited Kauaii or the Hawaiian islands, but my sisters and sister-in-law have. If I could -- I'd try to attend your hula classes there. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful hula with us. Aloha from Florida!
I have been to Maui many times. I have always wanted to learn the hula. Thank you so much for helping me to create beauty and exercise at the same time!
I have been with Halau Kalama in Aurora, CO for 1 1/2 years. I am very passionate about my culture. Proud Hawaiian here. I love your videos. Mahalo
I haven't been Hawaii, but would like to visit.
Love ❤️ it! Beautiful hula! Thanks for your lessons ! Mahalo😘Lynn
Mahalo Connie for your constant support and always leaving a positive comment. I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well!
Aloha Lynn! Mahalo nui loa for these beautiful videos! I danced hula MANY years ago as a child in Volcano, and I want to honor my fiance, the land, and my culture at our upcoming wedding. So, I am dusting off my hula lei and practicing, practicing, practicing. Thank you so much!
Yes Kauai is my favorite Island lush with vegetation and smaller. The Napoli coast is gorgeous !
Yes, the Napali Coast is gorgeous. Mahalo Barbara for replying!
Never been to Kaua'i. Of course would love to go there~
Mahalo nui for the video.
Mahalo J Wan for the comment. My pleasure to provide the video. Is this your first time dancing the hula?
Kuaui in 30 days. I hope I can learn this beautiful dance by then!
Did you dance under the Hanalei Moon?
Aloha, Lynn ! It is beautiful. I am a professor writing about landscapes in an academic setting. So it fascinates me how Hawai'ian landscapes are performed and danced into place ! Want to be as good as you ....
Good day Lyn. Hope you have a lovely day today.
I have never visited. My boss brought back key lanyards from Kauai for each of her housekeeping staff.🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH
this video has 115 likes and zero dislikes!! keep up the good work!!!!
I just discovered your channel as I have a good friend who's a retired Kumu Hula. I had a little lu'au for my sister, who was visiting from out of town, and my Kumu friend drove 4 hours to come. She sent me your RUclips of Puamana to learn so her and I could dance it. I haven't done hula in some years and she is so busy she rarely has the time but we managed to pull it off and everyone LOVED it! I realized how much I've missed it so I'm happily going to learn any hula you post as I really enjoy you. Mahalo for teaching hula this way! :-D
Aloha e Teresa P! Mahalo for sharing this with me - it bring me joy to hear how two friends were able to learn the same hula separately by my videos and came together to give it as a gift to your sister. That is truly a special gift! I'm honored to have your former Kumu Hula dance to my version of "Puamana." Where did she have her halau before?
Thank you for wanting to learn anything I post. I'm grateful!
@@iHulaHawaii Her halau was in Phoenix, AZ and she was also very involved in the Arizona Aloha Festival every year (she got involved in all that is Hawaiian when she lived in Honolulu in the 80s and 90s). She has little time for any hula now but also found she misses it and so we're BOTH going to continue to learn hula from you! We're loving it! :-D
🌴🌺 Aloha Lynn, I was looking for the words to the song when I found your site, you dance beautifully and the words were in Hawaiian and English , I was looking for the tabs to play on my ukulele, enjoyed this so much , 🌺🌴. 🌴Mr.Dave from Florida 🌴

my hands hurt hahaha but it's so beautiful. I need to learn haha
Mahalo! Yes, I have been to Kauai many years ago. It is still my second favorite island as I now call Maui home.
Lynn, thanks so much for your video instructions. Can you Reccomended a Halau near Lahaina?
Aloha Polly! I didn't realize we were island neighbors! Mahalo for the comment. If you'd like to find a halau in your area, check out this website: www.mele.com and scroll down to the bottom where you'll see HALAU HULA. It will list Hula Halau by country, state and city. I see 3 listings there in Lahaina, listing contact info. I hope this helps!
Dear Lynn I'm from Indonesia honestly this is my first time learn hula and I really enjoyed it very much emh I love hula i kona and e ku'u lei poina ole
Aloha Tina from Indonesia. I love to hear how people so far away from Hawaii are learning the hula with my channel. Yes, the songs I share are my favorites too!
Hello Lynn, great video! I love your channel, it helps me feel connected to Hawaii. Mahalo. 🌹
Mahalo AshleyF for loving my channel. I'm happy to hear it helps you feel connected to Hawaii. Is this your first time dancing the hula?
@@iHulaHawaii Yes, this is my first time dancing the hula. I'm learning so much just by watching your channel. Thanks to you, I am falling deeply in love with hula dancing.
Why is Hawaiian everything just so beautiful? The culture, the music, the hula, I love it!!! To answer your question, I visited Kaua’i for two weeks back in 2017 and wish so much I could go back. I loved it there, very much
One thing I would really love to learn is the actual hula dance that goes along to He Mele No Lilo, and Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride. Both songs are so beautiful and I’ve seen many fake hulas with them
Aloha Natalie - I agree...everything Hawaiian is just amazingly beautiful. Oh neat to hear you've visited Kaua‘I. Is this your first time dancing the hula?
These titles are the most requested hula songs I get. I have chorepgraphed a hula for each song, however, I reserve them for my local students to learn here in Honolulu. That's not to say I never will create a tutorial for them, as these mele are so much fun to dance to - maybe you'll see something in the future??? Keep watching.
❤
❤🤙
Oh I would love to visit Kaua’i. I joined a Polynesian Dance group here in Indianapolis, and recently found out I have Polynesian in me!
It’s such a blessing and I do wish I am lucky enough to visit Hawaii one day. ♥️ Mahalo for these wonderful and helpful videos. Blessings!
🌺
How wonderful Noah that you have a Polynesian Group to dance with where you are (and found out about your roots too!) Is this your first time dancing the hula?
iHula Hawaii Oh my word your replied!!! 😄😄😄 Yes it is my first time. I have been practicing for about 3 months now, but I still have a long way to go! It’s pretty much a part of me now!
My Kumu is from Kaua’i and talks about it like it is a part of her. To be where the Hula was created would be fantastic. One day though! 😝
I try my best to respond back:). Wow - your Kumu is from Kauai? What a wonderful resource you have. Keep up the heart for it all - that goes a long way. Aloha!
iHula Hawaii Aloha! ♥️🌺
Kia Ora, I loved learning this today ❤️ Thank you for being a kumu hula online. The only Hula halau I know of in New Zealand is in Auckland, 2.5 hours away from my home. I met my husband while I was studying in Oahu, Hawaii and our oldest child was born there so I'm so happy to have the opportunity to hula and share it with our children. Have never been to Kauai but have friends all over the Hawaiian Islands that I would love to visit again. Mahalo nui.
I love to hear your connection to the islands and your love of hula too. I'm blessed to be able to share with you online so you and your keiki can share this special art together.
Aloha ʻauinala from Germany dear Lynn :-) I hope everything is fine with you. I am very happy to watch your new tutorial to the beautiful mele of Led Kaʻapana. Because I love the island of Kauai very much, songs about this island touch me especially
Aloha Auinala Manuela! Yes, all is well with me - mahalo for asking. Isn't this such a beautiful mele? I think all the viewers will really love the various versions of this classic mele. Mahalo for dancing the hula with me and for your constant support and encouragement.
@@iHulaHawaii I really like to be in contact with you and dancing Hula with you. One day, when we will come back for vacation to Hawai'i , perhaps in 2021, I would like to have a private hula lesson together with you. That would be amazing
Aloha dear Lynn, I just would like to let you know, that I visited the island of Kaua'i twice: first tim in 2005 and 2nd time in 2010. Both times I was so overwhelmed of the beauty of this island and it is for sure, that I will come back one day
I was on a cruise and stopped in Kauai for one day. Learned to dance Beautiful Kauai
Loke
"Beautiful Kauai" is one of the first hula I learned as a keiki (child). That's another classic.
Do you remember the steps?
@@iHulaHawaii
It is similar to our choreography.
💙
Mahalo!!
I hope you are doing well! 💜💜💜
Can you do this along with an ipu heke?
I got married in Honolulu, Hawaii, two older kids born there.
Aloha, Lin? Is the spelling correct? I see these videos are couple years ago. I just subscribed to your channel. I am from Kailua, Hawaii. My mother is Japanese/Portuguese. American father. We were transferred to the mainland when I was in high school because father in Navy. I had a difficult time. Different culture and I missed my grandparents and Uncles, Aunty’s, cousins, best friend, etc. I now live in Texas. I took Hula when I was young but, of course forgot how, completely. Do you give private FaceTime or zoom lessons? Mahalo Lin. Aloha, Collette
It’s Lynn😊 Mahalo for sharing your roots. New things in the works!
Been looking for classes in South Floida. Mostly Latino and ballroom.
I'm not sure I understand the vamp step. Can u pls explain it in words.
It's basically the kaholo right and left, with the matching hand motions. The vamp is used in the introduction of the song, in between verses and at the end, depending on the artist's arrangement. I hope this helps.
Lynn, I have learned the first verse of this. But I cannot find the other 2 verses tutorial. Can you help me? Mahalo for all you great instructions!!!
Polly, if you've subscribed, all the videos are listed in order. You can also look for the playlist.
Hi Lynne, we miss you. Are you coming back soon?
🍍Aloha🍍
i started with your Puamana
I am soon to be 64, and thanks to your lessons i am learning to Hula here in small town America. You have a beautiful gift. Thank you
HELP. can you provide a simple but beautiful hula for Beth ChapmAn. She will have a services here in Colo. Is there an approp hula for her. I will try.
It was so sad to hear the news that she past away this week. I live in the same area as their family here in Honolulu. My prayers are with her ohana.
Yes, you could do either "You Are My Strength" (use the Barret & Tara Awai version) to bring hope to those at the service, or "E Ku‘u Sweet Lei Po‘ina ‘Oe" to describe her as a beautiful never fading bloom. My choice would be to use Raiatea Helm's version. Let me know what you decide.
Do you have ties to her that you'd get to share this hula at her memorial in Colorado?
@@iHulaHawaii more, before they moved to Hawaii. I hope the weather holds. There has been not much info on services to date. Thank you
