Location: big island | E O Mai (pronounced: A O My - translation: "answer me"
we two in the waters
the sighing waters of kahualoa
hold back that driven current
oh my love, answer me
restrain those waters
surging wellsprings, stirring the heart
glide on those waters as they sparkle
oh my dear one, acknowledge me
then, released with the torrent
waters of passion, burning the skin
indulge until you are satiated
oh my beloved, respond to me
keali'i's guitar is koa but i am not sure of the brand. i will check on that. |

Location: big island | "water was a most precious resource in ancient times and was prominent in hawaiian poetry when referring to emotion or romance. this song uses the many qualities of water as metaphors to reflect the feelings and actions that embody relationships"
