It's yours, the name of Tarzan Of the strong and mighty arm Brought there to the enemy Staying in a strange land No doubt but that Tarzan's Bloody hand will fill (them) with terror Numerous the deeds known Of that bloody hand that has no love (for the enemy) The story is told It's yours, the name of Tarzan |
| Source :Hillier Collection "Genoa Keawe by Request" album - Written as a tribute to her husband who she compared to the comic book character, Tarzan, when he (Mrs. Kuahuia's husband) went to serve in World War II and was taken prisoner. Her faith was justified and he
returned safe. The composer, from Miloli`i, asked Genoa Keawe to record this song in 1956. The artist complied and dedicated this song to all the people of Miloli`i. Translation and notes by Kini Sullivan |
