From the recording One Day

Wrote this mele to capture my special connection with Hawaiʻi. I literally traveled the world since I was a child, but didnʻt feel at "home" until I landed in Honolulu in 1986. Played in Taro Patch tuning.

Lyrics

Hawaiʻi Nei ©
David “Kawika” Fiely

Traveled for years, had to roam
Tired and restless, nowhere home
Dreamed of a place, I didnʻt know
Somewhere to stay, somewhere to grow

Hawaiʻi nei
Aina i ka pono, a place to stay
Mālama touched my soul
Aloha made me whole

Heaven on earth, a beautiful place
Loved by ohana, felt their embrace
Loosened the strings, a wonderful sound
Kuʻu home, I finally found

Hawaiʻi nei
Aina i ka pono, a place to stay
Mālama touched my soul
Aloha made me whole

Hawaiʻi nei
Aina i ka pono, a place to stay
Mālama touched my soul
Aloha made me whole

“Me ke aloha Hawai’i nei”
