@TheWizzkid02 Maika`i Ka `Oiwi O Ka`ala

The peaks and ridges surrounding

Mount Ka`ala on the island of O`ahu are

thoughtfully compared to the form and

actions of a loved one in this

mele ho`oipoipo honoring King Kalakaua

-Keali`i Reichel

@caribkfan I have a link with the translation. I'll shoot you a pm with them. It is indeed a beautiful song it was compsed for Keali`i's mother Lei, she is compared to the majestic sentinel mountain, Maunaleo, who guards, comforts, nourishes and loves her people. Mälie is the gentle wind of the area.
