Thank you very much! Is there an english translation? Apparently google translate can't comprehend such lyrical genius ;). I would love to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of this song. God Bless!
I'm very impressive about the lyrics in the Hawaiian's language. It's been said in my country that we need to be careful about the meaning of the lyrics when we are singing. But all the lyrics in the Hawaiian's language speak us of love, friendship, family, and most of all: the beauty of this great island, a little peace of heaven in the earth. Mahalo to all the Hawaiian's people.
This is why JT transcends and yet stays true to his Hawaiian roots. Meliá meaning the beauty of the baby expressed as plumeria. The beauty of this song is the reach beyond Hawai’i to the other artistry of many nations as expressed in both word and music. My Hawaiian brother is a true artist in every sense of the word and this mele proves it even more so every time I listen. The next time you are on the Big Island JT, sing this mele for all of us🌴🌴🌈
Nonohe ka u’i O ku’u pua melia Pua ‘ala kau aheahe Ahe lawe hau’oki E moani i ke kaolo Pi’ina o Moelana No ku’u pua melia Ku’u ha’ina E puana i ka poli o Mali’o I Ka’ulakahi ka lā Welo ua pūnohu Me he lei melia mau Kau po’ohiwi
Mahalo, Braddah Josh - you're a gift from heaven with that beautiful voice and melodies that create such yearnings in the heart. I miss Hawaii everytime I hear your music and see these great videos. So glad I called my Mom today to wish her Happy Mother's Day - she also loves your music. Big hugs of aloha from Oregon.
What an amazing song and beautiful video..... Josh has become my favourite Hawaiian artist. Hands down. Thank you for sharing your gift and talents... Praise God.
Aloha Josh Tatofi and Antonio Agosto !!!! Thank you for posting your beautiful "Melia." You are endowed by God with that glorious voice and persona !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your songs of life and love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 78 years old, born and raised here in Hawaii of Chinese ancestry !!!!. Me ke aloha pumehana, Robert S.J. Hu October 10, 2020.
Tino ataahua Josh, my Hawaiian is not good I just cried listening to this my daughter will be leaving for Hawaii soon (when covid restrictions are over) to study she is half tongan/maori raised in Tonga & NZ, this waiata conjured up emotions, when a song does that, that's powerful thank you, Ngaa mihi
I get tears in my eyes, although i don't understand it but your music makes me so gratefull ik thank God for your talent and beautifull voice and your backing vocals also playing and singing a perfect team you all are many love from Holland.
A sublime voice, this song unique, a powerful melody. It challenges the soul, the senses and life. Respect to you, continue to rock us with your songs. Thank you.
I love his music especially the Hawaiian songs. 🔥🔥 always blasting it at work here in American Samoa and people look at me like I'm weird. Lol. Oh well.
This is a really nice song. I don’t understand Hawaiian but I can listen to it over and over again. So it’s safe to say, at least thousand of the views here is mine lol... repeat at work
Such a gifted and truly blessed individual! Just heard your new single and couldn't stop playing it over and over! So beautiful and touching! Another Na Hoku Hanohano winning song as songs on your Pua Kiele album!
is it possible to get story behind this mele. Its so beautiful and english translation. Mahalo! You are absolutely the best and my idol is Luther Vandross, perfect match. Love it! My heart feels your music.
When i first heard his voice he sounded like palaniVaughn..but this guy has a voice that gives me. Chicken skin when he sings Melia... such a beautiful voice. His songs makes me so wanna go back to hula.. thank you josh
Well done! Awesome video and kudos to everyone involved. Joshʻs voice is awesome and inspiring! Great job with the music Kapena! Mahalo all the way around for an awesome single.
So, I kinda wanted make a guess, as to what the meaning of the song is about. I wanna say that the singer is singing about a beautiful girl named Melia, right? And he's comparing her beauty to every flower on the island, and her grace to the gently flowing wind. He wants to cherish her forever and hold her dear. If I got it wrong I'm sorry, I like to interpret different songs based on the things I see in the video. I absolutely lived this one too. It brought a sense of peace to me.
I wish one day I’ll get a chance to sing with you, my voice is not that good, but my heart feels the need of getting a chance to sing with a special person who’s blessed us with his beautiful talent that god has given him From your biggest fan all the way from the small islands of vanuatu☺️
Love love loooove this!!!! Soooooo beautifully sung and arranged ❤️ I don't understand everything, but I know it's about the plumeria. I can't stop listening 😍😍😍
So Beautiful and such a soothing voice. I love all of Josh Hawaiian songs! Even though I don’t understand the words they bring peace and comfort to my heart that I know they are meaningful.🌺🌸🌼
The words are in the description. Mahalo for all the kind words my friends. ❤️

Nonohe ka u’i

Pua ‘ala kau aheahe
Ahe lawe hau’oki
E moani i ke kaolo
Pi’ina o Moelana
No ku’u pua melia

Welo ua pūnohu
Me he lei melia mau
Kau po’ohiwi
