ʻO ka hula mua

ʻO kāu hula mua i likeʻole me ka manaʻolana. Hiki paha iāʻoe ke hoʻokaumahaʻia me nā manaʻo o ka manawa-ʻo ia kāu lā male ma hope o nā mea a pau! - a no kēlā mau minuke he mau maka iāʻoe. ʻO ke kohoʻana i kahi mele mare e loaʻa ai keʻano kūikawā e hoʻomaha ai i kou mau aʻa e hiki ai iāʻoe ke nānā aku i ka hoʻoholo pololeiʻana i kēlā mau hula.

ʻO ka mea mua, e makemakeʻoe e hoʻoholo pehea e wikiwiki aiʻole kahi mele hula mua āu e makemake ai. Ua koho ka hapanui o nā kānaka i kahi mea paʻakikī me 4/4 paʻi no ka meaʻo ia kaʻoi aku o ka maʻalahi e hula.

Hoʻokomo i kahi mau mele a me ka hula i loko o kou lumi noho eʻike ai i ka manaʻo maikaʻi.

A laila, e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kahi mele e pili nui loa iāʻoe. I laila kahi mele e kani ai ka manawa mua i honi aiʻoe, aiʻole i ka wā i hōʻalo aiʻoe? Aia kekahi mau hua'ōlelo e hoʻomaka koke i kekahi oʻoukou e noʻonoʻo i kekahi? Aia kahi mahele o nā mele e hoʻokau mau i kou puʻuwai? Inā he mau leʻaleʻa kou mau mākua, malia paha e makemakeʻoe e hula i ka mele hoʻokahi a lākou i hana ai?

Ināʻoe e nīnau i kēia mau nīnau,ʻaʻoleʻoe e alakaʻi iāʻoe i kēlā koho maikaʻi loa, mai hopohopoʻoe:ʻAʻohe o lākou "mele" a hiki i ko lākou kohoʻana i kahi mele hula mua. Akā, e noʻonoʻo e noʻonoʻo pehea e wehewehe ai i kāu aloha, a laila eʻimi i nā mele a me nā mele e kūpono i kēlāʻano.

Hiki iā ia ke lihi iki eʻimi ai i ka mele hula mua loa, akāʻo ka mea maikaʻi e hiki iāʻoe ke hauʻoli nui e hana pēlā.

Hiki iāʻoe ke kamaʻilio pū i kāu mea kūʻai. E hāʻawiʻia paha nā manaʻo o kāu mare ma kāu puke.

Eʻoluʻolu e nānā i nā mele! ʻO kekahi o nā mele mele mele kahiko i kaulana nui, pili i ke kaumaha a me ka nalowale o ka mea aloha.

Inā pilikiaʻoe e hele mai me kahi mele, eia keʻano o nā mele hula kahiko kaulana.
