David Lee Roth - Hina Lyrics

That's pretty cool nice 🌎

Steve Vai is such an incredible guitarist and he really shined with Roth. He was super creative on this track.

This tone ,rhythm and overall feel ,really remind of Vai's Flexible and Flexible Leftovers ,era! So upfront and in your face. Odd how such a processed tone sounds so raw!! Vai was and IS badass!!

Great song, with Mr Steve Vai playing guitar!

best track~~~~~~~

Incredible guitarwork creating that wall of sound..

a little Jaco goes a long way

❤️💎DAVID LEE ROTH ‼️🤘🤩🤘

Extremely underrated song. Still holds up today. Love the guitar work. Great rhythm

A phenomenal
song that never got its just dues.

Hina
David Lee Roth
Album: Skyscraper

Those eyes burn holes
Into the starry night
And when her sleepy eyes are open wide
You can barely dance beneath her light

And I'd love to get to know the natives
But I'm only flesh and blood
She'll share your joys but not your sorrows
Mistress of the coming flood

Hina *
Cool upon the silent sea
Hina **
Isn't she the moon queen?
Hina
Whispering in my dreams
You must come back to me

And the tides rise, a distant sigh
Falls on deaf ears
Her vision makes you every inch a king
King for a million years

And she loves you when you're leavin'
And she'll leave you if you stay
She says, "Don't tell me that you love me
You'll hate me for hearing it once I drift away."

Hina
I can hear you softly cry
Hina
Your storms and lullabies
Hina
I'll whisper in your dreams
Till you come back to me

Come back
But she will never stay
Come back
And you must never wait
Never wait, never wait, never wait

Come back, back, back
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na
Woah

Hina

Come back
But she will never stay
Come back
And you must never wait
Never wait, never wait, never wait

Hina

* Hina is the name assigned to a number of Polynesian deities. The name Hina usually relates to a powerful female force (typically a goddess or queen) who has dominion over a specific entity.
Hina continues to be a figure worshiped in many of the Polynesian religions and her stories serve as traditions that unite Polynesia, specifically the Hawaiian Islands.

** Hina is a form of the Proto Austronesian word for "Matriarch" and its cognates are found in Taiwan, throughout South East Asia and across Polynesia in the forms Ina, Sina, Tina and Hina. In addition to the usual meaning of "Mother", in Malay the word means "womb" and in Polynesian mythology Hina is the name of several different goddesses.

WOW what a blast, I'm 17 again... had this album back then and thrashed it. Hina definitely one of my favs, Vai and Sheehan masterful. As a long time Satriani fan I must give Vai big props. I'm also a drummer and forgot Greg B played this album, what a great band!

....wow ...just...WOW!!!

Fucking song i love it

Excellent track, could have been a single..

David picked the perfect Guitarist after leaving VH-Steve Vai and Billy sheen on bass Played incredible together...I saw the Eat'em and smile tour 3 times back than.. Dave was still a Rock God back then NOW not so much..

Fcking Killer !!!!! No BS !!!!!!

One of my favorite Vai tracks. I love the whole vibe of the song.

Is this a track Billy played on? I understand that he was not on all the tracks. I heard some where programmed. The bass on this one definitely sounds like Sheehan that tone and growl is unmistakable.

Saw this band in concert and what a great fun show, with some Beatles thrown in, and a group percussion number. Dave - all you could want, and more!

Who played guitar on this , Satriani ? Vai?

Steve vai

BILLY THAT IS.

Please give notice to MR. SHEEHAN.

Beautiful sunshine outside, Shifting gears in my mustang, windows down, exhaust rumbling, pocket full of money, blazing towards the beach, with the scents of summer in the air.. Good times to this song...

Such a great guitar track. What a song!!!

OMG...my high school, my childhood...

The Zappa influences shine...

People who've never heard Zappa's guitar playing have no clue how much Vai sounds like him.

Vai is a beast. The lines are a sonic lava lamp.

Aw shit, Steve's guitar is awesome, after all these years, i still love it!

What a fucking great album!!

Did this ever get any radio play?

Edwad and his pet pig Wolfgang are by-products of a broken dream.

Steve Via's timing is beyond human restraint.

A true Steve Vai track, like Skyscraper

Those eye's tho!

Steve Vai ❤

uma das melhores do play

That riff tho.

unf..king-believable.

Hard to choose a favorite song from this album, but....
Always love DLR.

I know exactly what you mean hahaha! I go back and forth which is better. They’re all contenders on this album.

I'm going to play a song just for you next.

Yup....every song is badass !!!

The only reason this song works as well as it does, is because Gregg Bissonette is laying down the most insanely solid drum beat ever. But all parties are amazing.

He reminds me of Keith Moon! Back there lurking and menacing, nothing too crazy just solid sht!

This song is fucking nuts. I could listen to the first 2 verses of this on repeat for the rest of my life, I pretty much have anyway

Darn good song
My high school slid back

This track blew my mind back in the day. A real grower.

I need to find out some of lirics this song coz cant anderstand everything well.

Bardzo mi sie to podoba!!!

This is a great song and the only saving grace on this record.

Only saving grace...? Need a Q-Tip?

You must com back to me!!!

brilliant song. one of my favourite Dave Lee songs. in fact Skyscraper the whole album is a hell of a good record. better than anything Van Halen did with Sammy H.

Nick Godfrey as someone else pointed out. At least for OU812, this blows it out of the water.

I love the guitar work with it's delay....prominently. In this song.

This song still blows my mind everytime

Me too. Just fabolouse!!!

Mine too.

Steve Vai! Saw him again last Saturday. Still killin' it live!

This CD blows OU812 out of the water !!!

SuperNick090 yeah man. Agreed!

SuperNick090 true. True

And I thought it was my "Older" ears! Glad to see im not the only one that thought that pooch was screwed!

OU8ABIGPOOH = Better name When's It's Love is soooo poor - Halen at that time were banging anything with a pulse DLR Rulez

ah c'mon now. mutual love or you wouldn't be here

amazing track 😁 takes me back some years,

such an underrated track....

g liscous what you mean underrated? true fans know all about this particular track

No it isn't over a million people bought this album and know it's amazing. Underrated = YouTube cliche

Depends who is listener! For me - NOT AT ALL! Who really can tell...

this is awesome :)

I have found that Vai is king of the appregiated guitar style. with the exception of Nuno Bettencourt.

Whose the one cunt that disliked this...REALLY!?

+mooplad69 Some bahina.

+mooplad69 Some who has to blame somebody for "overdosing" on good Music.

I know, REALLY?

Damn good song 

"F"ing AWESOME!

Steve Vai buries Mr. Lee on this one !!!!

Brilliant

Shit,i am 18 again......

Fair enough. This is so cool.

Yeah I love this one too.

One of my favorite of his solo tracks.  Thanks!
