The form of Mt. Kaʻala is fine and attractive Clear there in the calm Straight and firm are the squared shoulders Of Kamaoha in its beauty Clearly visible in the cold Of the uplands of Kalena Is the exposed heart Of the kupukupu fern Soft is the bosom Of Kānehoa hill in the beauty Smooth are the flanks Slippery in the Waikōloa wind Softly shaped is the rib Of Mālamanui Sedate when turning its attention To Kanoenoe Extraordinary is the carving Of the shafts of the Kiuwailehua wind That which you find gentle, soft, and sweet Is the flower in the sun When you glance down Toward Waialua Mokulēʻia excels all others Because of its beauty Spread out, expansive Broad are the Koʻolau mountains A home for the ʻuaʻu birds is the cape Kaʻena, there in the sea An incomplete work are the hands Of Kaʻaiea in the splendor Downy soft is the neck Of the water-drinking koloa bird Eager to stir up To motivate Kawaihāpai Held back, though, and restrained By Nēnēleʻa Pōniuʻō hua braces itself Crouching in the cold Suddenly stiff from the chill And from the dampness Respond to the call, o Kalākaua The chief whose praise we proclaim
We fell in love with Keali’i Reichel’s music when we were stationed there at Schofield Barracks for 3 years. Now it’s helping to distract me during a painful hospitalization. Thanks, Keali’i.
Can you post the lyrics and translation for "Maunaleo", please? I just love this song ! I don't understand this language, but the melody just stirs my soul .Thanks for sharing ! greetings from Puerto Rico!
@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.

The form of Mt. Kaʻala is fine and attractive
Clear there in the calm
Straight and firm are the squared shoulders
Of Kamaoha in its beauty
Clearly visible in the cold
Of the uplands of Kalena
Is the exposed heart
Of the kupukupu fern
Soft is the bosom
Of Kānehoa hill in the beauty
Smooth are the flanks
Slippery in the Waikōloa wind
Softly shaped is the rib
Of Mālamanui
Sedate when turning its attention
To Kanoenoe
Extraordinary is the carving
Of the shafts of the Kiuwailehua wind
That which you find gentle, soft, and sweet
Is the flower in the sun
When you glance down
Toward Waialua
Mokulēʻia excels all others
Because of its beauty
Spread out, expansive
Broad are the Koʻolau mountains
A home for the ʻuaʻu birds is the cape
Kaʻena, there in the sea
An incomplete work are the hands
Of Kaʻaiea in the splendor
Downy soft is the neck
Of the water-drinking koloa bird
Eager to stir up
To motivate Kawaihāpai
Held back, though, and restrained
By Nēnēleʻa
Pōniuʻō hua braces itself
Crouching in the cold
Suddenly stiff from the chill
And from the dampness
Respond to the call, o Kalākaua
The chief whose praise we proclaim
We fell in love with Keali’i Reichel’s music when we were stationed there at Schofield Barracks for 3 years. Now it’s helping to distract me during a painful hospitalization. Thanks, Keali’i.

@caribkfan Maunaleo was written for his mum, he compares her to the majestic mountain Maunaleo, which is said to protect, nourish, love the people.
