My neice is studying this Oli Mahalo Chant but cannot tell me what it means. too embarassed to ask her Kumu. She needs to memorize it but if she knew what it meant she could learn it easier. Could someone please translate:
'UHOLA 'IA KA MAKALOA LA
PU'AI KE ALOHA LA
KUKA'I 'IA KA HALOA LA
PAWEHI MAI NA LEHUA
MAI KA HO'OKU'I A KA HALAWAI LA
MAHALO E NA AKUA
MAHALO E NA KUPUNA LA 'EA
MAHALO E NA KUPUNA LA 'EA
MAHALO ME KE ALOHA LA
MAHAL ME KE ALHA LA

E KALA MAI....NA KAHAKO ON CERTAIN WORDS ARE MISSING. HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE KNOWS THIS OLI -KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS
