`Ike Pono: Music

He Wahine U'i

Words & Music: John K. Alameida

 

BOBBY: "This is a fun song about beautiful women and some of our favorite island flowers. ‘Ike Pono added a few touches that give this song great energy and opportunities for both ‘ukulele and slack key guitar pa’ani. We recorded this song by popular demand. Many venues that we have played at, people have asked us if we had a recording of this song, and if not, would we be able to record it. Well….here it is!"

 

HE WAHINE U`I

`Auhea, `auhea wale `oe

E ka pua, e ka pua lokelani

A he nani, a he nani no `oe

He wahine u`i

 

`Auhea, `auhea wale `oe

E ka pua, e ka pua mokihana

Hana a`e, hana a`e no wau

Lei ho`ohie

 

`Auhea, `auhea wale `oe

E ka pua, e ka pua kukui

Kui a`e, kui a`e no wau

A lawa kou lei e ka ipo

 

`Auhea, `auhea wale `oe

E ka pua, e ka pua violeta

Leka mai, leka mai `oe i`au

Auwe ka auwe `ako

 

`Auhea, `auhea wale`oe

E ka pua, e ka pua ka `ilima

`Elima, `elima o`u po

Ho`i nele a`e
