KUʻU POLIʻAHU
NA KALANI PEʻA

Mauna Kea kilakila keu ā ka uʻi
Luhiehu ka Makua o kuʻu lani
Poliʻahu ka wahine kapa hau anu
Pumehana ka wahine e ‘apo mai ē, ‘apo mai ē

Hiʻi mai ke kuahiwi i ka moena hau
Pōʻai nā hale a puni ka Makua
Ua kani ā ‘uʻina a māuna ‘ia
E anoʻi pono nō e pūlama mau ē, pūlama mau ē

Eō mai Poliʻahu e noho nani mai
Poliʻahu ka Makua o kuʻu lani
Mauna Kea kilakila keu ā ka uʻi
Luhiehu ka Makua o kuʻu lani

Majestic Mauna Kea, oh you’re exquisite
The most appealing guardian, my heavenly one
Covered in the blanket of snow, you are Poliʻahu
This warmth of love, she embraces us

The slopes are embraced by the snow
Structures are built around the guardian
Lightning and thunder occurs
To long for the love, we must cherish her forever

We call out to you Poliʻahu who sits amidst with beauty
The appealing guardian, the most heavenly one
Majestic Mauna Kea, oh you’re exquisite
The most appealing guardian, my heavenly one

Lyrics, Music & Melody – Kalani Peʻa
Lead & Backup Vocals – Kalani Peʻa

Listening to this Mele in SanDiego in 2023 and missing Hawaii so much. Lived in Oahu for 30 years.

God bless you, Daren just was listening to your songs this morning while I’m sitting at the park smoking one anyways I was remembering when I got to sing with you & Uncle Juni, Puerto Rican music at rest camp Those memories came flooding today. It was such an honor you’ were a very amazing and humble person. Love you
Aloha Jojo

A main lander whose heart is in Hawai'i. Love his voice and music. Congratulations on a well deserved Grammy win to you and all of Hawaii!

[Colleen-lnwk]

LOVELY! For all of us who are unfortunate enough NOT to speak Hawaiian - but still love Hawaiian culture and music - could you please publish English Lyrics for us. Mahalo.

When HAWAII BECAME A STATE, my mother put me in HAWAIIAN DANCE LESSONS. I dearly loved! Does anyone remember THE LITTLE BROWN GIRL, IN THE LITTLE GRASS

[thomascampbell]

There are smiles that hide the heart and then there are smiles that overflow with peace and which reflect a contentment that most people never experience. Rare is the person who spent some time on one of the Hawaiian islands who does not come away having tasted that soul rest; that spirit of aloha. As a mainlander lost is a sea of people who have no idea how much they are missing thank you for this post and thanks for music and dance that brought me joy and a longing to return to the place where my heart has never left.

I never get tired of hearing this beautiful song. This is one of my favorite videos.

[skinnerbob]

I have just returned from my 10th visit to Hawaii. I love the culture and the Hawaiians that I've met. I hope that they keep their culture and language forever, and keep Hawaii Hawaiian
When I looked at Mauna Kea each morning I'd hum this song in my head and picture the video. I was so obsessed that when I got home I had to look up the english translation. Now I'm going to make a copy of Poli'ahu to hang next to my Pele picture. Thank you for your videos they are really great, I watch and listen to this one and your others every morning. I can't get enough of Hawaii !!(neither can my wife)

[Cayson]

Just saw him perform in Sapporo, Japan! Amazing!! Chicken Skin! I'm so happy the Hawaiian culture and community here is so prominent! It really helps with being homesick!

[flyingcheff]

the dancer that danced on Ka Lehua, Sean takes my breathe away! That smile! Beautiful video!

[laurapolacchini]

La gente che è felice, canta! Ma credo che il maunakea, che qui dice il cantante, sia 1 vulcano 🌋!

[gaynaleieha]

I get lost in the ambiance of the music. Your voice transports me to a sweet space. Heavenly. It is a great a great gift from the Lord. Blessed beyond time & eternity. Keep thinking of this gift. There is no other like your voice. We all carry different treasures from our Father. Stay true to your heart ❤.

[charlynnchock]

Baby your heavenly voice coupled with such silky tones, & this Song soooo Beautiful with all its meaning, honoring Mother. Thank you Kalani Pea

[thomascampbell]

With a heavy heart I returned to this mele and saw my sorrow replaced with a joy so deep that it hurts.  The music brings rest to the mind, the hula restores my faith that grace, poise, and beauty can still flourish where the heart is anchored in aloha.

[chuckmeadows]

Brilliant! Truly a beautiful song of love and joy and respect for Mauna Kea. Mahalo Nui Loa for this wonderful music.

[marvinkamei]

The beauty of them all. Everything!!! Mahalos for the view!!

[Cynsam]

Lost in a world without My Dad R.I.P. Rudy van Dalm one of the pedal steel guitar player with the album greetings from Hawaii "' Aloha to You '", heard the song Hawaiian wedding song. A style of music that is unique, alive and vibrant. When his golden voice begins to flow his audience BEGINS TO SENSE THAT IS IN THE PRESENCE OF A MAN WHO HAS MASTERED HIS MUSIC. Miss you Dad !!! I am blessing with all your wonderful songs Dad. "" I STILL LOVE YOU.""
Dad this is for you with Mom your angel.
