Hawaiian Music Hula: Nāpua "Lawakua"

Hawaiian music and hula at its best.
Nāpua performs her composition "Lawakua", written for her sister -- and fellow kumu hula, Kahulu. One of the featured hula dancers in this video is Manalani Mili Hokoana English - 2013 Miss Aloha Hula winner at the Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo. This video was recorded on the slopes of Haleakala in Kula, Maui, the Hawaiian Islands.

Auhea 'oe he lawakua kua ola ho'ola'ila'i,
He nani kou e nelia a'i i ke kini o ka 'oe.
Ho'ala ka pali poli laua'e i ka 'ihi'ihi ho'olanipo,
No au lani ka uhu maka noe o ka ohu lehua e.
CHORUS:
Holono a'e 'oe i ke kane ua,
He kili iho nei i ka manawa,
O kahea kua lino mau,
Eia mai ka hulu ma'ema'e. (2ND TIME: A7, B7, LAST VERSE)
He aloha nou he lawakua kua ola lei i ka nani,
He nani no e ku'u maka na'u makamaka mau e. (CHORUS)
LAST VERSE:
He aloha nou he lawakua kua ola lei i ka nani,
He nani no i ku'u maka na'u makamaka mau e,
Mau e, mau e.

I've always had a thing for Napua. She gives me mean chicken skin

[@REDEYEDFEELiN]

such a beautiful mele...

[@IsraelLong131]

I think the photographer has a thing for the ehu haired girl on the end. He seems to be focusing his attention (and camera) on her most of the time

[@alohauniversal3896]

For me, she is expressing more aliveness as she dances… appears more grounded in her body…

[@IsraelLong131]

@alohauniversal3896 definitely more grounded....
As well as gorgeous!

Anyone know what does she say at the end in Hawaiian & English? Please.

[@ryanletemi]

i think she's saying "he lei nou e kahulu, ku'u lawakua e" - a lei for you Kahulu (her sister - who the song is dedicated), my dear friend.

Lawakua
