Today Kimo Watanabe sings a beautiful old song written by Emma Bishop, with a few cameo appearances from his daughter Alia.
You can now buy Kimo’s songs on music.podshow.com.
Please visit Kimo online. Mahalo nui again to Doctor Trey for connecting Beach Walks with Kimo.
Kimo has gracefully shared with us the lyrics (in English) of the song he sang. It was written in the 1800’s after a visit to the island of Kaho’olawe. Read more about Kaho’olawe at Wikipedia.
Kaho’olawe – Emma Bishop
You are proud, indeed
Kaho’olawe, famous land
You are so cherished
With your hinahina
Enjoy the water
We seek shelter from the chilly rain
High
On Kaho’olawe
Abundant, the hinahina blossoms
Incomparable, the breeze that blows
The wind named Kiu Ke`e
Of the cliffs
Tell
The refrain
My thoughts return to my home
And my friends
Hawaiian words
Kino: body
Piko: navel
