Hanohano Paliuli I Ka Ua Noe - Kalani Hiapo III & Visa Castillo

Hanohano Paliuli i ka ua noe
Kau i ka lani kelakela
A he nani hiwahiwa ku ho`okahi
Apo `ia e nâ kualono
Kau i ka la`i
Aia i nâ lani
Ano `ai wale ke `ike aku
I ka nani o Paliuli
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Hanohano Paliuli i ka ua noe

Kahea: He mele no Paliuli

Majestic is Paliuli in the misty rain
Placed in the lofty heavens
Here is a singular and treasured beauty
Embraced by the surrounding ridges
Place in the calm
There in the heavens
How delightful it is to see
The splender of Paliuli
The story is told
Majestic is Paliuli in the misty rain

Call: The poem of Paliuli
Source: Written October 7, 2002, for Ka Pâ ‘Olu O Ka Makani, this mele pana praises Paliuli, a mythical place of peace and happiness. Any person, place or thing can represent Paliuli, a feeling that brings tranquility and harmony when frustration and stress overcome us unexpectedly. Translated by Kalani Hiapo & Visa Castillo
