EO MAI - Hawaiian Dance

During our family holiday vacation in Oahu, we practiced our hula dances on the beach, feeling the fresh ocean breeze, surrounded by waving palms and the deep blue sea. It felt very good. Here we are doing our newest hula dance, Eo Mai, sung by our favorite Hawaiian artist, Keali’I Reichel. We can listen and dance to his songs all day long.

E O Mai
By: Kealiʻi Reichel

Kaua i ka wai
Wai olohia o Kahualoa
Kokohi i ka wai puhia
Eku'u aloha, e o mai


Kaomi i ka wai
Wai mapuna ha'ele i ka poli
Pahe'e ika wai lohia
Eku'u aloha, e o mai


Puhemo i ka wai
Wai welawela ho'eha i ka 'ili
E inu i ka wai a kena
Eku'u aloha, e o mai

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

We two in the water
The sighing waters of Kahualoa
Hold back that driven current

O my love, answer me

Restrain those waters
Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart
Glide on those waters as they sparkle

O my love, acknowledge me

Then, release the torrent
Waters of passion, burning the skin
Indulge until you are satiated

O my beloved, respond to me
