Hawaiian Music by Hwn Boy Mike Kaawa

From a young age, I remember hearing my tutu lady playing her guitar, wahine slack-style, on the porch of her Pauoa valley home. Growing up, both my mom and dad played sweet slack-key at home, too. So it wasn't a suprise to anyone that I picked up playing guitar. 12-string Ovation is my guitar of choice. Hawaiian music is my passion.

Lyrics

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 kïkaha la 
'O ia `ae kai 
  
A he kuhihewa ko`u la 
Aia i ka poli 
  
Ha`ina ka puana la 
O Hälala i ka nuku manu 
  
Ha`ina mai ka puana la 
O Kaleleonalani 

King David Kalakaua There at Heeia 
We go surfing on the waves 
  
Surfing of the crest 
Returning on the diagonal wave 
  
Tis I who criss-crossed 
The edge of the shore 

I mistakenly thought 
You were in my arms 
  
Tell the refrain of 
The over-sized beak of the bird 
  
The end of my story 
In honor of Kaleleonalani
