This hīmeni tells of the renown places at Wai‘anae on the island of O‘ahu. Its words were composed by Abigail Kawahahe‘e Pule and is sung to the tune of “Hawai‘i Aloha.” It was a common practice to borrow the melody of a beloved song to move your own words to. It was thought of as a compliment to do this. “Hawai‘i Aloha” was a tune that many such songs that tell of places on many islands of several districts are based upon. In the 1st verse, Līhu‘e is where Schofield Barracks is now located. Nene‘u is where most people now refer to as Pōka‘ī Bay but in that area where the Nene‘u Store is. The famous breeze there is the sea breeze called the “Kaiāulu.” Pōka‘ī has always been known for its very sweet coconuts and beauty of the coconut trees. Some have said that Pōka‘ī is actually inland of the place now known as “Pōka‘ī Bay.” In the 2nd verse, Ka‘ala is the highest elevation on O‘ahu in the Wai‘anae Mountains rising 4,000 feet. Nearby is Ko‘iahi, famous from ancient times for its small-leaved variety of maile and is famous in poetry of this region. Mākua boasts of a lovely beach.
