ELVIS PRESLEY - Aloha Oe (New Edit). 4K

Movie: Blue Hawaii - 1961 - “Aloha ʻOe“ (Farewell to Thee) is a Hawaiian popular song written circa 1878 by Liliʻuokalani, who was then Princess of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It is her most famous song and is a common cultural symbol for Hawaii. New Edit by FABRICA The story of the origin of the song has several variations.[1] They all have in common that the song was inspired by a notable farewell embrace given by Colonel James Harbottle Boyd during a horseback trip taken by Princess Liliʻuokalani in 1877 or 1878 to the Boyd ranch in Maunawili on the windward side of Oʻahu, and that the members of the party hummed the tune on the way back to Honolulu. Different versions tell of alternate recipients of the embrace—either Liliʻuokalani’s sister Princess Likelike Cleghorn or a young lady at the ranch.[2] According to the most familiar version of the story: This tender farewell set Liliʻuokalani to thinking, and she began humming to herself on the homeward trip.
