Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics (and translation, if available) for Holo Wa`apa? I have five CD's with that song (Take Me Home - `A`lea; Hawaiian Songbird - Lena Machado; On The Road Live - Makaha Sons; First Two Albums - Brothers Caz; Moe`uhane Kika - Keola Beamer) and none of them have the lyrics.
Lyrics (no translations) are included in Elodia Kane's "Tribute to Lena Machado" CD. The last few times I've ordered it from the distributor, they told me they were out of stock.

It's a great song. I can't even remember where I got the lyrics, but here's what I have. I am not a Hawaiian speaker, so I can't vouch for accuracy of the language. Jesse Tinsley

If you still want/need the printed lyrics, Auntie Elodia sells a number of her and uncle's CD's from their home too. The address is elsewhere on Taropatch, so search and you shall find.
