Verse 1
Riding along the ancient pathways he makes his way to wherever he needs
The horse is the paniolo wa’a the ground is the paniolo sea
He climbs through the forests of Mana guided by the hills and the wind
Like navigators that came before him going places they have never been
Chorus 1
Ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo i nā wa’a holo honua
Ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo i nā wa’a holo honua
Verse 2
Sailing on the pastures as on an ocean the moon lights his way so he can see
Travels from the mountain to the shoreline living life so open and free
At the beach he rests for the evening catches fish and sleeps under the stars
With drink and plenty of eating and the strumming of slack key guitar
Chorus 2
Ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo i nā wa’a holo honua
Ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo i nā wa’a holo honua
Verse 3
With the sunrise he must be leaving grabs his kaula ‘ili and his rein
Lifts his paddle one at a time and rides his vessel home carefully
The paniolo lives in a balance with what the kai and the ‘āina provides
Contained within the ahupua’a is everything needed to survive
Chorus 3
Ha’ina mai ka puana ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo
Ha’ina mai ka puana i nā wa’a holo honua
Verse 4
Ha’ina mai ka puana ha’aheo nā kanaka paniolo
Ha’ina mai ka puana i nā wa’a holo honua
I nā wa’a holo honua
I nā wa’a holo honua

Dagan Bernstein Waimea, Hawaii
With a deep voice and sure hand, Dagan is one of Waimea’s most authentic folk musicians infusing Hawaiian stylings into his own original compositions to create a refreshing sub-genre he calls “paniolo folk music.” By blending the two genres, Dagan has created a style that pays tribute to the ranching history of Hawai'i while embracing mainstream folk sounds. ... more
