Thanks everyone, that's the info that I definitely need!! Since I'm not fluent in the language, it's good to have help explaining the songs.
I think I might go with the E Ku'u Morning Dew, it seems to be the popular item and my original favorite!!! I really appreciate it!!! |

Patrick translates "Pilipuka" as "hole in the night." I think it refers to the time between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. In any case, he was inspired by the ticking of the clock late one night if I recall correctly.
Oh, and congratulations Donelle! |

The lyrics for this song can be found at http://www.huapala.org/Sanoe.html and Sanoe is the name of a woman.
Someone please correct me or add more if you can; but from my limited knowledge and internet look up, noe means mist, rain or spray. So ka noe (the rain) or sometimes pronounced sa noe... the name means the mist.
Checked http://wehewehe.org for this definition. quote:
noe
1. nvi. Mist, fog, vapor, rain spray; to form a mist; to settle gently as mist (poetic); misty. Ua noe, misty rain. Noe ke `ala o ka lehua, misty is the fragrance of the lehua. Noe wale mai nô ke aloha i ku`u lei a`u i haku ai, love alights like mist over the lei I have woven. (Perhaps PEP ngo`e; cf. Easter ngo`e.)
2. (Cap.) n. A rare name for the northeast tradewind (Moa`e).

I don't think "ka noe" would ever be pronounced as "sa noe"...ka 'olelo makua did not use an "s".
Andy is correct that 'ka noe' is a mist, or misty rain. Noe is often used in Hawaiian music to represent love or a loved one...think of the misty rain hugging Mauna Kea, surrounding and encompassing her.
To use 'noe' (or 'pua', or many others) instead of just saying right out that the writer is refering to a loved one is part of the kaona, or hidden meanings of the song.
When Lili'uokalani wrote the song, she used 'ka noe' as the first level of kaona. Then, since the song refers to an affair, she used a second level of kaona and changed it to 'Sanoe' - perhaps a woman's name, perhaps an allusion to ka noe, perhaps...? It's up to the listener to decide. |

Aloha kekahiaka
Pohakuloa, by Moses Kahumoku, translates to a very rocky place. Moses explained in a CD flier that he was inspired by such a place high up Mauna Kea. I have hiked in many such places in both Hawai'i and elsewhere, and I think his song captures the spirit very well.
