Mele Kalikimaka and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou |
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say "Merry Christmas to you."
(Repeat)
~This song was written by Robert Alexander Anderson in 1949~
Ko'u
Hou Kou hiki au epili mau na pomaika'i
oe noho me ka hou'oli A Ko'u pule A Aloha
noho apau.
translated means:
My new friends, may I wish you to be happy
and my prayers and love to all!
~Keli (Shirley) Starshaven Makekau~
You know you're celebrating Christmas in Hawai`i when:
There is a saying here, that if Hawai`i wants you to stay it will hold on to you. Though you scatter to the four winds, it will always call you back.
