Lyrics for Hawaii '78 as interpreted by darkahuna

Hawaii '78 Lyrics
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono o Hawaii
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono o Hawaii

If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land

Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel abouth this modern city life

Tears would come from each others eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our people are in great great danger now
How would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry

Chorus:
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And then yet you'll find Hawaii

Could you just imagine they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life

Tears would come from each others eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our land is in great great danger now

All the fighting that the king had done
To conquer all these islands now these condominiums
How would he feel if he saw Hawaii nei
How would he feel, would his smile be content, then cry

Chorus

Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono o Hawaii
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono o Hawaii

ok this songs basically showin how hawaii is changing and growing. to me and the natives its bad because it was better when the forigners werent here. then the haoles had to take over. this song tells us how would our ancestors and ancient people feel about this change. Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono o hawaii basically means this is our land and we shall take care and respect it. is the whites doing so? haha

there is so much passion in both the lyrics and music of this song...I've never been to hawaii, and I don't believe in the religious stuff, but I do share the same worry for what humans are doing to the great earth we have
