youtu.be/5ZOAiSP1MGs - "Hawaii '78" by Israel Kamakawio'ole

Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
Being perpetuated (is) the sovereignty of the land to righteousness/ to balance, Hawai`i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i

If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land
Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel about this modern city life?

Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our people are in great, great danger now
How would they feel?
Would their smiles be content, then cry

Chorus:
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i.

Could you just imagine they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our land is in great, great danger now.

All the fighting that the King has done
To conquer all these islands, now these condominiums
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei?
How would he feel? Would his smile be content, then cry?

(E hana hou i ka hui)
(Repeat chorus)

Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i.

This song is by a guy also famous for singing over the rainbow. It's one of the big dude's best: Hawaii '78. is a song about losing the land of ones forefathers to modernity and foreign invaders. I suggest listening to it with an open heart, recognizing that our own land is sacred and we too are losing our lands to globalism the very empire that was built in our own name.

Our ancestors used to be sacred. May they be so again. In this way, Hawaiians like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole know much better than we what we ourselves are losing. Like poor Hawaiians, many around us don't recognize the changes. They don't see the invaders and the cruel masters who bring them here. But our forebears would have us notice. And they would have us fight it.

We can learn much about real nationalism from others, since we have been stripped of ours. It's time to rebuild the ethos. (From M-W: the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution.)
