Poli'ahu i ke kapu, recently released by Hāwane, is a tribute to Poli'ahu, the divine snow goddess of Mauna Kea.
This mele (song) speaks of the natural beauty of Mauna Kea and compares the snowfall, bright stars, soft clouds, cool mist, and mountain itself to sacred Poliʻahu. It represents one's unwavering connection to the natural world that must be rekindled in these changing times.
This song's composer, Hāwane Rios, of Waimea, Hawai'i Island, has learned that music sends out a healing vibration that holds the power of change in its core. It is never ending and travels onward touching souls one chord at a time.
Poliʻahu i ke kapu is available on iTunes and other online music stores with proceeds from sales being donated to the KAHEA Hawaiian-Environmental Alliance Mauna Kea Legal Defense Fund to protect the sacred and cultural landscape on this mountain.
Engineering and mastering was completed by Sonny Lim with assistance from his daughter, Anuhea Lim. Sonny also provided musical accompaniment on this CD single.
Me ka haʻahaʻa i ka piko o ke aloha,
Häwane Rios
**Hawaiian Lyrics**
O Poliʻahu ka wahine kapa hau
ʻO Poliʻahu i ke kualono 'o Mauna Kea
Me he hau kea e heleleʻi mai ana
Ma ka mauna kou lauoho
Eō mai ʻoe

ʻO Poliʻahu i ke kapu
Eō mai ʻoe
Me he ʻōpua e kōahe ana
I ka makani kou ʻili
Eō mai ʻoe

Me he hōkū kupaianaha e ʻimoʻimo ana
Ma ka lani kou mau maka
Eō mai ʻoe

Me he līhau e malu ana
I nā puʻu kou mauli ola

Hui
Me he mauna e kūhaʻo ana
I ka mālie kou nui kino
Eō mai ʻoe

ʻO Poliʻahu ka wahine kapa hau
ʻO Poliʻahu i ke kualono ʻo Mauna Kea

**English Lyrics**
Poliʻahu, the woman of the snow white kapa
Poliʻahu, of the summit of Mauna Kea
The snow falling down
On the mountain is her flowing hair
Answer this call
Chorus:
Oh sacred Poliʻahu
Answer this call
The clouds blowing gently
In the wind is her soft skin
Answer this call
Chorus
The brilliant stars shining
In the sky are her beautiful eyes
Answer this call
Chorus
The mists protecting
The hills is her breath of life
Answer this call
Chorus
The mountain standing
In the calm is her whole body
Answer this call
Chorus
Poliʻahu, the woman of the snow white kapa
Poliʻahu, of the summit of Mauna Kea
Chorus
******Japanese Lyrics******
(Japanese translation by Takayo)
ポリアフ　雪のマントをまとってる
ポリアフ　マウナケアの山頂に
雪が舞い降りて来る
山はあなたの流れる髪
答えを下さい
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい
雲が優しく流れている
風はあなたの柔らかい肌
答えを下さい
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい
輝く星が光っている
空はあなたの美しい瞳
答えを下さい
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい
霧が覆っている
丘はあなたの命の息吹
答えを下さい
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい
山がたっている
穏やかさはあなたそのもの
答えを下さい
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい
ポリアフ　雪のマントをまとっている
ポリアフ　マウナケアの山頂に
聖なるポリアフ　
答えを下さい

UH has approached DLNR to extend it's lease for the use of Mauna Kea for another 65 years! Please sign this petition in opposition! Something this important should at least have more public vetting! Hearing is this Friday 9am at the Kalanimoku Bldg (corner of Punchbowl and King), come if can!
Aw, I can't post links, but try go to MoveOn .org and search for Protect Mauna Kea, it's the one about Lease Renewals! Ke `olu`olu! Mahalo!
