Just want Liliʻuokalani?
Aloha. My name is Liliʻuokalani. A long time ago, in the year 1838, I was born on the beautiful, sunny islands of Hawaiʻi. I loved my home very much. All around me there were pretty flowers and the big, blue ocean was always nearby. I was a princess, and I loved the Hawaiian people with all my heart. Growing up in such a special place made me feel very happy and I wanted to take care of everyone who lived there.
When I grew up, I became the queen of Hawaiʻi. This happened in the year 1891. More than anything, I loved music. I loved to play the piano and sing beautiful songs. I also loved writing my own music to share my feelings with my people. I wrote a very famous song that you might know. It is called 'Aloha ʻOe,' which means 'Farewell to Thee.' I wrote this song to share my love for my home and for all the people of Hawaiʻi.
Even after I was no longer queen, my love for the Hawaiian people never, ever stopped. I lived to be 79 years old. Today, people in Hawaiʻi still sing my songs and remember me. They remember me as a queen who cared for them with all her heart, and my music helps share the story of my beautiful islands with the world.
