Aloha-Oe
download
(Arrangement and music - Elvis Presley)
Information:
Aloha-Oe (which means Farewell To Thee) was written by the Queen
Liliuokalani, from Hawaii, in 1878. A sentence of the song was inspired by
There's Music In The Air (1854), by Francis Robert Crosby and George
Frederik Root. Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1936 (Decca 880). In 1938
Harry Owens had a popular version of Aloha-Oe (Decca 1907). The song was
heard in the movie Hawaii Calls.
Elvis
recorded Aloha-Oe on March 21, 1961, at Radio Recorders for his film,
Blue Hawaii. The commercial release was a mix of two different takes.

Lyrics:
Ha
'aheo ka ua i na pali / Proudly sweeps the rain clouded by the cliffs
Ke nihi a'e la i ka nahele / As onward it glides through the trees
E uhai ana paha i ka Liko / It seems to be following the Liko
Pua Ahihi Lehua a o uka / The Ahihi Lehua of the valley
Aloha-oe, aloha-oe, e ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace, a ho'i a' e au
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
Till we meet again
