Keawaiki (Little harbor or channel)
Songs of Helen Desha Beamer. This song honors the beach house of Francis Hyde ‘Ī‘ī Brown in Kona, Hawaii. Brown, a descendant of Hawaiian royalty, was known for preserving Hawaiian culture and fostering community connections. The lyrics highlight the natural beauty and cultural richness of Keawaiki and its surrounding area, especially the historic fishponds of Kālahuipuaʻa.
The repeated references to "beloved children of Hawai‘i" emphasize the deep bonds and spirit of aloha shared among the Hawaiian people. Scenes of feasting, relaxing, and celebrating together symbolize Hawaiian values of hospitality and unity.
This song celebrates not only the beauty and tranquility of nature but also the depth of human connection and affection.

Eia lā he kono

Keiki aloha a Hawai‘i
He punahele ho‘i ‘oe na mākou
