Thank you very much! Is there an english translation? Apparently google translate can't comprehend such lyrical genius ;). I would love to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of this song. God Bless!
Nonohe ka u’i O ku’u pua melia Pua ‘ala kau aheahe Ahe lawe hau’oki E moani i ke kaolo Pi’ina o Moelana No ku’u pua melia Ku’u ha’ina E puana i ka poli o Mali’o I Ka’ulakahi ka lā Welo ua pūnohu Me he lei melia mau Kau po’ohiwi
I'm very impressive about the lyrics in the Hawaiian's language. It's been said in my country that we need to be careful about the meaning of the lyrics when we are singing. But all the lyrics in the Hawaiian's language speak us of love, friendship, family, and most of all: the beauty of this great island, a little peace of heaven in the earth. Mahalo to all the Hawaiian's people.
This is why JT transcends and yet stays true to his Hawaiian roots. Meliá meaning the beauty of the baby expressed as plumeria. The beauty of this song is the reach beyond Hawai’i to the other artistry of many nations as expressed in both word and music. My Hawaiian brother is a true artist in every sense of the word and this mele proves it even more so every time I listen. The next time you are on the Big Island JT, sing this mele for all of us🌴🌴🌈
Mahalo, Braddah Josh - you're a gift from heaven with that beautiful voice and melodies that create such yearnings in the heart. I miss Hawaii everytime I hear your music and see these great videos. So glad I called my Mom today to wish her Happy Mother's Day - she also loves your music. Big hugs of aloha from Oregon.
I love his music especially the Hawaiian songs. 🔥🔥 always blasting it at work here in American Samoa and people look at me like I'm weird. Lol. Oh well.
Tino ataahua Josh, my Hawaiian is not good I just cried listening to this my daughter will be leaving for Hawaii soon (when covid restrictions are over) to study she is half tongan/maori raised in Tonga & NZ, this waiata conjured up emotions, when a song does that, that's powerful thank you, Ngaa mihi
What an amazing song and beautiful video..... Josh has become my favourite Hawaiian artist. Hands down. Thank you for sharing your gift and talents... Praise God.

Such a gifted and truly blessed individual! Just heard your new single and couldn't stop playing it over and over! So beautiful and touching! Another Na Hoku Hanohano winning song as songs on your Pua Kiele album!
Well done! Awesome video and kudos to everyone involved. Joshʻs voice is awesome and inspiring! Great job with the music Kapena! Mahalo all the way around for an awesome single.
I was asked to sing this song before at a airport but sadly I didn’t know the words or the song, after searching, it became my fav song an also a song to put me to sleep, I just love this song an the voices❤️❤️ so soft an graceful.
So, I kinda wanted make a guess, as to what the meaning of the song is about. I wanna say that the singer is singing about a beautiful girl named Melia, right? And he's comparing her beauty to every flower on the island, and her grace to the gently flowing wind. He wants to cherish her forever and hold her dear. If I got it wrong I'm sorry, I like to interpret different songs based on the things I see in the video. I absolutely lived this one too. It brought a sense of peace to me.
My mom wants to Hula dance to this graceful song... if only we understood what this beautiful song meant .. 😔❤ also what a beautiful coordination everything made me feel nostalgic!😭❤💯
素敵な声✨綺麗な旋律🎶フラ🌺で、心込めて踊ってます❤
The words are in the description. Mahalo for all the kind words my friends. ❤️
Thank you very much! Is there an english translation? Apparently google translate can't comprehend such lyrical genius ;). I would love to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of this song. God Bless!
Awe, thank you!❤
何て美しい曲なんだろう、涙が出るほど美しい。あなたの曲はどれも本当に美しいです。

I Ka’ulakahi ka lā
Welo ua pūnohu
Me he lei melia mau
Kau po’ohiwi
