   Letra

   Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i [Spoken] I feel free now, you know? I was just confined like, you know? My Mom was born on Niihau. My Dad was born here. My Dad, he was a...he worked for the Navy. Down at PWCA, Public Works. Down Pearl Harbor. Oh my mother was tight ah...was tight. My Poppa was tight. My Poppa died when he--when I was 10 I think. ...Was 10 years old. But every once in a while, he come back you know. ...I trip! Just like couple of weeks ago, I was sleeping my place, and then my mother and auntie Nina came... How would they feel? Would their smiles be content rather then cry? Cry for the gods, cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken away, and then yet you'll find Hawai'i. He loved music brah. He had a massive heart attack. The way that--just depression brah. He was real depressed. I was on the same course he was going. And he knew that too. And that's why he came back and tell me that "eh"--'cuase he DID come back and told me that "Eh, 'cause, you know, no be scared. There's people here for help you brah". It's kinda like telling me, if he had them...he would still be here. I still believe if he had called me, he'd be alive. ...'Cause he died of a broken heart brah. How would he feel? Would his smiles be content rather then cry? Cry for the gods, cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken away, and then yet you'll find Hawai'i. Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i

Let each one embrace then his love; For me, I'll keep to my dove. Hark now, the signal for bed! Attentive then to loves tread, While a wee bird sings I the soul. My love comes heat-whole. Then quaff the waters of bliss. Say, what is the key to all this? The plover eggs laid in Tahiti. Your love. When it comes, finds me.

    Vídeo Letra

    

    Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true ooh oh Someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly And the dream that you dare to, Oh why, oh why can't I? Well I see trees of green and red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well I see skies of blue And I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands Singing, "How do you do?" They're really singing, "I...I love you." I hear babies cry and I watch them grow, They'll learn much more than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world world Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?
