  • "We shall extend and display respect to all others which reflects our own appreciation of humanity. We shall carry our pride quietly, neither boasting of ourselves nor speaking badly of others - often a dishonest method of self-praise. Yet we must be unashamed of our principles and honest in our criticisms."

    I lived in Hawaii for nearly 30 years and I long to go back more than words can say. This song always makes me cry for the most blessed place on earth.

      I used to think Darren Hayes from Savage Garden had the most angelic voice of all time until I heard Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. No comparison. Israel truly has the voice of an angel. I don’t think anyone can sing like him. No offense to Darren though. He is truly, madly, and deeply amazing too.

    I remember watching this as a little kid and I started crying. I looked over to my mom and asked her why was I crying, being a kid I was oblivious, when I noticed that she was crying too. I don't remember exactly what she said but it was something like "because we all love each other". Thank you for bringing back memories.

    I absolutely agree with Hawaiian Code of Conduct in consideration of current life and the history of the island and now ensure myself following with it for our long lives with peace. Thank Hawaii of givingr this valuable proverb "We shall extend and display respect to all others which reflects our own appreciation of humanity. We shall carry our pride quietly, neither boasting of ourselves nor speaking badly of others - often a dishonest method of self-praise. Yet we must be unashamed of our principles and honest in our criticisms."

    Aloha Oe, brudda Iz. The world is lesser without your presence and voice.
    After having abandoned playing the Uke since I was in Hilo Union back in the late 70s I've taken it back up. This is one of the songs I dearly want to be able to play again. I've never quite forgotten the lyrics. They've been with me all these years.

    I worked at Queens in Cardiology and Mr. IZ, sadly, came in often. He was a stinker about his diet and his family didn't help, but on Sundays, oh my Lord, when they all came and he felt well, oh my Jesus, the music that came out of his room and down the hall!! There wasn't a sound in the halls everything was still, but the music , the music you felt Heaven in your heart for those brief moments. God was there, in Mr Iz. Absolutely!! May God hold you gently in His arms while you rest, Iz!

    Something that strikes me about this video: the people are there in the moment, sharing with Iz and each other, not on their cellphones recording as they would be today.

    I feel sorry for the Hawaiians no one came to their help when America terrorised their country. It also happened to Samoa but Samoa had New Zealand army there and German army there and between the three countries they fought for it Germany left and Samoa was separated Western Samoa was owned by New Zealand and America of course always wanted something so they got the other half which is know as America Samoa then in 1962 Western Samoa gained independence from New Zealand but before they did the most highly titled chief who ruled Samoa was killed by New Zealand military along with other people who protested on the beach. It's sad other countries have to go through so much pain just to get their own countries back

    Im just a ole country boy from a one horse town and Ive been to Hawaii and seen how my people destroyed it in the name of GREED. Every once in a while I come back to visit IZ because his spirit on earth found me in my little tiny town. It makes me cry to see what a great lost to the local Familys and Driends of this fantastic gift from the gods Live in my heart IZ even if we didnt know each other in life

    Hawai`i Aloha - Words by Rev. Lorenzo Lyons, Music by James McGranahan
    E Hawai`i e ku`u one hânau e
    Ku`u home kulaîwi nei
    'Oli nô au i nâ pono lani ou
    E Hawai`i, aloha ê
    Hui:
    E hau`oli nâ `ôpio o Hawai`i nei
    `Oli ê! `Oli ê!
    Mai nâ aheahe makani e pâ mai nei
    Mau ke aloha, no Hawai`i
    E ha`i mai kou mau kini lani e
    Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawai`i
    Nâ mea `ôlino kamaha`o no luna mai
    E Hawai`i aloha ê
    Nâ ke Akua E mâlama mai iâ `oe
    Kou mau kualona aloha nei
    Kou mau kahawai `ôlinolino mau
    Kou mau mâla pua nani ê
    O Hawai`i, o sands of my birth
    My native home
    I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
    O Hawai`i, aloha
    Chorus:
    Happy youth of Hawai`i
    Rejoice! Rejoice!
    Gentle breezes blow
    Love always for Hawai`i
    May your divine throngs speak
    Your loving people, o Hawai`i
    The holy light from above
    O Hawa`i aloha
    God protects you
    Your beloved ridges
    Your ever glistening streams
    Your beautiful gardens
