about

Manu O'o is another of my favorite songs. It reminds me of my friend Pekelo Cosma. He used to play it too, but a bit faster. To me this one may be a bit too slow, and is certainly pretty raw, but I like the guitar work on it.

I also changed the chorus up just a bit, like Pekelo used to do by singing honi am, instead of ho'i mai. hahaha

lyrics

`O ka manu `ö`ö i mälama
A he nani kou hulu ke lei `ia
Mükïkï ana `oe i ka pua lehua
Kähea ana `oe i ka nui manu

Hui:
Hoi mai hoi mai
Kö aloha ma nëia
Kïhene lehua

Nö Hilo i ka ua kanilehua
Papahi lehua ai Hanakahi
Ho`okahi a`u mea nui aia `oe
`O kou aloha ua hiki mai
