sam Lyr Req: My Little Grass Shack In Kealekekua, HI (13) RE: My Little Grass Shack In Kealekekua, Hawaii 19 Nov 99


I was born and raised in Hawaii and I'm sorry, but I kinda giggled when I read some of the "translations" as to what some of the words meant. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a means "pig-snouted fish." If you ever saw one, you would know because they actually do look like they have a pig nose. Also, Komo mai no kaua i ka hale wela kahao means something more along the lines of "welcome to the two of us into the house that is hot." As you can kinda see, it's got a double entendre that is common in Hawaiian music.It's called the kaona, the hidden meaning.Just thought that I'd clear that up a little. I hope it enlightens.
