Aloha ʻOe — meaning “Farewell to Thee” — is one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved songs, composed by Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1878. It was written as a farewell between lovers, but over time it has come to represent parting, nostalgia, and the enduring spirit of aloha. Often heard at the close of meaningful gatherings, “Aloha ʻOe” reminds us that every goodbye holds the promise of return. #AlohaOe #HawaiianHistory #QueenLiliuokalani #FarewellSong #CulturalHeritage #royalhawaiianband | Sakura HI
