Source: Hailama Farden - This is a name song for
the composer's sister, Annette Elsie Kahuki`aialo (Farden) Ryan.
Written in the mid 60's, it was
introduced on a live broadcast, as a surprise birthday
present to Annette, as she listened to the radio. There
have been some minor changes in the lyrics by Nâpua Stevens
Poire, since the song was originally composed. Pua Mana, is the Farden
family
home on Maui; Lele, the ancient name of Lahaina. Recorded
by Myra English, "Oh How I Miss You Tonight", Hula
Records
