SONG CREDITS & LYRICS

Kaniakapūpū
Words by Kalani Peʻa & Kalehua Simeona
Music by Kalani Peʻa & Aiau Koa

Imagine sitting deep in the forest at Luakaha, kissed by the Kiʻowao
rain in Nuʻuanu Valley on Oʻahu, and hearing the wind whistle through
the shells that kāhuli snails once called home. 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
