Kamakawiwo'ole, Israel - Hele On To Kauai Lyrics






There's a place I recall
Not too big, in fact its kinda small
The people there know they got it all
The simple life for me

Hele on to Kauai
Hanalei by the bay
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
The canyons of Waimea standing all aglow
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home

When I was young, not too smart
I left my home, looking for a brand new start
To find a place that's better still
now I know, I know I never will

Hele on to Kauai
Hanalei by the bay
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
The canyons of Waimea standing all aglow
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home

Hele on to Kauai
Hanalei by the bay
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
The canyons of Waimea standing all aglow
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home
It's calling me back home

    "Hawaiian lands in Hawaiian hands." Really? Whose hands are those? There are no Hawaiians left. We are all mixed. Hawaii kahiko exists today only in memory. All we can do is share aloha woth everyone. That's Hawai'i.

    last star on the flag the first to leave Hawai'i lands in Hawai'i hands

    It has been one month since I left Kauai and I have thought of her everyday since.

    This is where my beautiful obsession with the Islands began...Kauai is with me still

  59. T.... C....

    EXPELL ALL COLONIALISTS FROM PARADISE! DOWN WITH THE HOTELS! GIVE hawaiians their LAND BACK!

    T.... C....

    Nobody should be allowed to "own" any part of planet earth . The land owns us, not vice versa. Just because you lived somewhere before someone else doesn't mean you own the land, the water, the air. if that was the case the sharks and turtles would own Hawaii . They were there way before you my friend.

  60. w.... k....

    Best Hawaiian singer

  61. K.... ....

    IZ is the best!!!

  62. d.... ....

    I've been to all the parts of Kauai he mentioned. It makes the song all the more special.

  63. N.... ....

    This looks like a place I'd like to visit. I don't care much for resorts or anything too built up. When we were kids, our family's idea of a vacation was to go out in the bush and pick blueberries. I think I'd get bored at a resort.

  64. A.... ....

    Dude id love to go, too expensive sadly

  65. G.... H....

    If you like this, you have to go. Pick up any ukulele and just enjoy all parts of the islands like heaven :).

  66. A.... ....

    Never been to Hawai'i and dont know much about it, but damn this Israel guy made some beautiful music!

  67. P.... ....
