Description
This song is titled "Hi`ilawe" about the twin waterfalls in Waipi`o Valley on the Big Island -- but it is really about the love story of a girl who fell in love with a boy from Puna and they were kept apart because they were from different ahupua`a (geographical areas) of the island. It tells about how all the people talked gossip about them and the girl thought no matter if people talk about me, I am so loved by my parents and my grandparents that they will let me continue with this love affair. The young lady dancing hula is (Mrs. Lyana Bednorz) from the Island of Maui!
Description by: A very special lady!
