    Ua mehameha au
    `A`ohe hoaloha
    Ua nui na makahiki
    A hele aku ho`i au
    `I`ini au ia `oe e noho
    `Ina `a`ole ua hiki no
    E hi`ipoi mau no wau ia `oe
    Aloha mau no wau ia `oe
    E hele au ma ke kai
    E luana me ka `ae kai
    Ke one ho`i ua ho`olu mai
    Holoi a`e i ku`u waimaka
    I saw you in my dream
    We were walking hand in hand
    On the white, sandy beach
    Of Hawaii
    We were playing in the sand
    We were having so much fun
    On the white, sandy beach
    Of Hawaii
    Bridge:
    Sound of the ocean
    Soothes my restless soul
    Sound of the ocean
    Rocks me all night long
    Those hot long summer days
    Lying there in the sun
    On the white sandy beach
    Of hawaii
    (Bridge)
    Last night in my dream
    I saw your face again
    We were there, in the sun
    On the white, sandy beach
    Of Hawaii
    On the white, sandy beach of Hawaii
    (x3)

    my ex passed away 2 months ago. this song reminds me of my favorite time with him. we were young I'm our late 30s helping our kids build sand castles. we got into a sand fight and chased each other into the ocean laughing. I'm blessed for that small treasured memory among many, this song ..plays it in my mind when I hear it. ❤😢 Thanks for posting the song. 🎵 🎶 😊

    I feel like crying when I hear Hawaiian music, not because I think it's sad or anything, but because the music captures me.
    The cover picture is mysteriously beautiful

      Same! I don't know why it makes me feel like crying (?) It's just so beautiful, and it's like a hug from my nanna💜🌈💖🌊🌸

    Translation for Mehameha:
    Why am I alone
    No friends
    It's been many years
    And someday I'll be gone
    I wish you would stay
    But if you can't, don't
    I'll always caress you
    I'll always love you
    I'll go by the sea
    To pass the time with the tide
    The sands comfort me
    And wipe my tears away
    The above translation was inspired by the original song, written by Rick Bibbs (local artist) who wrote it while mulling a "lost love", stating "Hawaii was what I had left to love." Here's the original lyrics that was then translated to the Hawaiian lyrics for the song:
    Don't love nobody but the trees,
    People smile but they don't stay
    Guess nobody cares for me,
    Shoulda been gone yesterday.
    I don't know why I'm so alone,
    Got no friends but the sky.
    I've been around a hundred years
    But I'll be gone by and by
    I want so much for you to stay,
    But if you can't then don't try.
    I'll hold you softly while I can
    And I'll love you till I die.
    Guess I'll go by the sea,
    Got some friends in the rolling tide.
    The shining sands will comfort me
    And the gentle waves will wash my eyes.
    :(

    Hawaiian lyrics:
    Ua mehameha au
    ‘A’ ohe hoaloha
    Ua nui na makahiki
    A hele aku ho’i’ au
    ‘I’ini auia ‘oe e noho
    Ina ‘a’ole, ua hiki no
    E hi’ipoi mau no wau ia ‘oe
    Aloha mau no wau ia ‘oe
    E hele au ma ke kai
    E luana me ka’ae kai
    Ke one ho’i ua ho’olu mai
    Holoi ai i ku’u waimaka
    The Hawaiian language sounds so beautiful I felt it was necessary to put it here.

    A very powerful and touching song. I've recently started reading about
    the SONS and have been taken aback on how young they were when they
    established the group. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that
    the entire Kamakawiwo'ole family has passed away; and so young.
    Unfortunately, you can't control your Genetics. RIP Skippy and Iz, as
    well as the talented John Koko.
