This is Kaniakapūpū, the summer home of Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III, and his wife Kalama. Kumu Hōkūlani Holt Padilla took Kalani on a field trip there one summer in Nā Pua Noʻeau, and he calls upon those memories with his co-composer Kalehua Simeona in this mele. The kāhuli reminds us poetically of the transformative change – huli – during the time of Kauikeaouli, and the huli we are experiencing today. - T. Ilihia Gionson ʻAuhea ʻoe e ke kāhuli? E huli aʻela i kou home Me ke anu ʻo Nuʻuanu Kahi kani nahe mai ka pūpū ʻolohaka Kūpīnaʻi ke kani ‘o Luakaha Where are you, luminary kāhuli? Exiting your home to search for anew Sitting in the frigid weather of Nuʻuanu Listen to the reverberating sound from the empty shell Sound echoes through Luakaha Hui: Kāhiko i ka pua o ka ʻiu I ua hulu nei māhiehie Ulu aʻe ka ʻiʻini e nanea Me ka ʻihi lani Chorus: Adorned such flowers on the revered Delighted to be in presence of such feathers What grows within is the desire with pleasure To honor our royalties Lua ‘ole ke kani ma ke Kiʻowao Waolani noho ke aliʻi ʻO Kalama kū hiehie Ke aliʻi nui paʻa i ke ea I mau ke ea i ka pono No other sound comes from the Kiʻowao Waolani is where the aliʻi dwells As Queen Kalama stands exquisitely Kauikeaouli (aliʻi) stands firm for his people To bring righteousness to his people E muimuia nā manu o uka Ka pulupē mai ka ua Hāʻao Nā ‘āhihi e hoʻāhu Hīhīmanu ke kani o ke Kāhuli Kauikeaouli e ola mau Birds chirp away in pleasure in the uplands The kāhuli’s shell is drenched by Hāʻao Gathering ʻāhihi blossoms With the magnificent sound of the Kāhuli Long live the legacy of Kauikeaouli MUSIC VIDEO CREDITS Executive Producer - Pe’a Records & Entertainment - Allan B.
