Po La'i La'i

Maliqa and Misham Hula Dancing

This is a classic hula that belongs in every hul dancer's repertoire. It is a dance equally suiteable for children and adults. In this song, the sound of a distant ukulele floats on the breeze. The fragrance of the pikake blossoms hangs in the evening air. The stars twinkle above us. Up on the mountains, house lights look like stars that have fallen to earth. Who could resist such an invitation?
Suitable for any level dancer.

Modern - 'Auana dance.

 

Kâua i ka holoholo
I ka pô mahina la`ila`i
E kilo ho`onanea
I nâ hôkû o ka lani

Kô mai ana ke `ala
O ka pua `o ka pîkake
I halihali `ia mai
E ka makani kolonahe

Ho`olono ana i ke kani
Honehone a ka `ukulele
Me ka mele ho`ohau`oli
Ho`olana i ka pu`uwai

Huli aku kâua i uka
I ka a`â nâ kukui
Ua like me nâ hôkû
E kau ana i nâ pali

Ha`ina mai ka puana
No ka pô mahina la`ila`i
E kilo ho`onanea
I nâ hôkû o ka lani

Ha`ina mai ka puana
No ka po mahina la`ila`i
Ho`olono ana i ke kani
Honehone a ka `ukulele

 Let's you and I go for a walk
On a clear moonlight night
To gaze with interest
At the stars in the sky

A fragrance is wafted hither
The perfume of the jasmine
Brought here to us
By a gentle breeze

We will pause to listen
To the `ukulele's sweet refrain
With a melody so cheery
Uplifting the heart

Let us turn to look inland
As the brightness of the lights twinkle
Like many stars
Nestling on the hillside

This ends my song
Of a clear moonlight night
To gaze with interest
At the stars in the sky

This ends my song
Of a clear moonlight night
We will pause to listen
To the `ukulele's sweet refrain
