dorothysue1 But its our form of an “angry” song

Neva Ewa

Tommy Tuarima borrowed this original tune from Hawaii....for kotiro e

I love the song,it's got a beautiful story behind it, I get very emotional listi g to it,thinking of all the Kings and queen and thir people. Whatever happened, God got this.

If that's the case, please remove that symbol of global terror from your picture. Also, please don't despair, we Macedonians, who are also occupied by the US Empire, are with you as are other peoples throughout the world. God bless. #NeverNorthOnlyMacedonia

Famous are the children of Hawai`i Ever loyal to the land When the evil-hearted messenger comes With his greedy document of extortion Hawai`i, land of Keawe answers Pi`ilani's bays help Mano's Kaua`i lends support And so do the sands of Kakuhihewa No one will fix a signature To the paper of the enemy With its sin of annexation And sale of native civil rights We do not value The government's sums of money We are satisfied with the stones Astonishing food of the land We back Lili`ulani Who has won the rights of the land *(She will be crowned again) Tell the story Of the people who love their land Kaulana nâ pua a`o Hawai`i Kûpa`a ma hope o ka `âina Hiki mai ka `elele o ka loko `ino Palapala `ânunu me ka pâkaha Pane mai Hawai`i moku o Keawe Kôkua nâ Hono a`o Pi`ilani Kâko`o mai Kaua`i o Mano Pa`apû me ke one Kâkuhihewa `A`ole a`e kau i ka pûlima Ma luna o ka pepa o ka `ênemi Ho`ohui `âina kû`ai hewa I ka pono sivila a`o ke kanaka `A`ole mâkou a`e minamina I ka pu`u kâlâ o ke aupuni Ua lawa mâkou i ka pôhaku I ka `ai kamaha`o o ka `âina Ma hope mâkou o Lili`ulani A loa`a ê ka pono o ka `âina *(A kau hou `ia e ke kalaunu) Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana Ka po`e i aloha i ka `âina *Alternate Stanza Kaulana Nâ Pua (Famous Are The Flowers) - Ellen Keho`ohiwaokalani Wright Prendergast

Mahalo nui iā ʻoe no kou manaʻo ponoʻī, thanks for your opinion. And I agree, the current tone of the mele is far from an angry one. However, before it was put to such a melody, it was a hula kuʻi. It sounded like a haka. And in Hawaiian mele, it isn't really the melody that sets the tone, but the ʻōlelo and kaona behind it. Nevertheless, mahalo nui for the comment. It really is valuable.

Sudden Rush uses an appropriate tone for the evolution of contemporary "protest" songs; and Kale Gumapac had a good presentation on this issue too...while he performed a rendition of how it was initially created..to be sung. ...facebook.com/BigIslandVideoNews/videos/1501438333228116/

gentlyhi100 Mahalo nui! Thanks for enjoying this beautiful mele.

I think this is Makaha Sons
