#Hapa . . Nathan K. Aweau #HawaiianMusic #oli #chant #mele #MeleInoa . Ive always loved this beautiful song :)) HE‘EIA Aia i He‘eia la, I ka nalu e he‘e ana. He‘e ana i ka muku la, Ho‘i ana i ka lala. A na‘u i kikaha la, ‘Oia ‘ae kai. A he kuhihewa ko]u la, Aia i ka poli. Ha‘ina mai ka puana la, O Halala i ka nuku manu. HE‘EIA (TRANSLATION) There at He‘eia, On the wave surfing. Surfing in the crest, Going out on the backwash. When I maneuver, (I reach) the waters edge. I mistook a person, For someone else, There on my bosom. Tell the story, Of Halala of the bird-beak. ******** It is a mele inoa (name song) for King Kalâkaua and commemorates his visit to He`eia, a surfing area on the leeward side of Hawai`i, a favorite of ali`i. The mele praises the surfing skill of Kalâkaua and his visit to enjoy the sport and meet a sweetheart.. youtu.be/9FRGZN849nA
