夏威夷大岛，顾名思义，是夏威夷群岛中面积最大的一座岛屿。岛上间歇喷发的高耸火山，为其赋予了鬼斧神工的奇伟胜景。这首由夏威夷皇家乐队成员创作于1881年的乐曲，赞颂着夏威夷大岛的中心城市希洛的迷人风采和作为岛屿象征的乐华花的美丽可爱。用华丽的技巧演奏出的琳琅满目的吉他弦音，营造出如节庆般的热烈愉悦的气氛。当游览夏威夷大岛的旅人，搭乘着直升飞机，飞过悬挂着彩虹的瀑布和热气升腾的火山口时，体会到的也是如此刻般的惊喜心情吧。

Hilo March 
Original Melody: Joseph Kapeau Ae`a
The Hilo March is a well-known Hawaiian march and is played by many musicians, especially steel guitarists, Polynesian and non-Polynesian alike. It was written by Joseph Kapeau Ae`a in 1881 and was originally called “Ke Ala Tuberose”. The lyrics of the song tell of the beauty of Hilo (the largest city on the Big Island of Hawaii) as well as the beauty of the Lehua flower.

不要忘记我
原曲：Elizabeth Alohikea
这首略带感伤的乐曲，原本是一首著名的夏威夷情歌，其题名来自于末代女王Liliuokalani被囚禁时在一条丝带上刺绣的文字。色彩各异的吉他弦音，此起彼伏地鸣奏着充满南国风韵的委婉旋律。在暮霭沉沉的黄昏里，在薄雾迷离的晨光中，思念情人的脸庞。将缱绻爱意，编织为一枚鲜艳的夏威夷花环，让那浓郁甜蜜的香气，永远弥漫于心。

Mai Poina Oe Iaʻu
Original Melody: Elizabeth Alohikea
Written by Elizabeth Alohikea, Mai Poina Oe Iaʻu is a poignant Hawaiian love song with the chorus featuring the words “Forget Me Not”. As with many love songs, there are multiple meanings (or “Kaona”) buried in the song’s lyrics. Queen Liliʻuokalani created an embroidered ribbon with the words “Mai Poina Oe’la’” while she was imprisoned in Iʻolani Palace after the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Aloha Oe 
Original Words/Melody: Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii
Aloha Oe (Farewell to Thee) is perhaps one of the most famous of all Hawaiian songs. Known as an emotional song of lovers parting, it was written by Hawaii’s Queen Liliʻuokalani (1838 –1917) in 1878 and is her most famous song. She learned to compose music at the Royal School and was the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
