Aloha, I was wondering if anyone has heard of two additional verses in the song "'Alika," right before the ha'ina verse. Auntie Genoa and Raiatea Helm don't include them in their versions. I found the verses on tropicalstormhawaii.com and was wondering if any artists have recorded versions with those verses added. Here they are:
Kahea ke kilo
ke kilo kaulana
Ua ma'a i ka ho'okele
'Une'une i ka hoe
He i'a nui kau
ua pa'a ma ka hi'u
I hopu aku au
Ke kapeku mai ana
|
He kehau ho'oma'ema'e ke aloha.
'Alika / Polinahe |

I just saw this while searching through the topics I have posted and replied to. My friend Ka'iu (not the one on here) did one of the ones that I think I posted here.
Is it common that not all the verses that are written in Hawaiian songs are sung by people? Why is this? |

Aloha e `Alika,
Yes, in my experience, that is pretty common. There are many reasons. Not everyone knows all the verses. The song may be considered "too long" by some people. Sometimes verses have personal content which is not appropriate for all audiences. Some verses are later additions and so traditionalists may not want to include them. I'm sure every singer has other reasons of their own.
Malama pono,
Leilehua |
