I have searched high and low for the translation of Kauoha Mai to no avail. Huapala.org does not have it so perhaps it has to do with copyright. If anyone is willing to help I would be most grateful.
This topic was covered here waaaaaaaaaaay back in 2003. Use google.com to search for "kauoha mai lyrics", and you'll find the links that will provide you with lyrics. Aunty Lena's family is very protective of the copyright issues for this mele...

Auntie Maria, I had come across that thread, but no translation. What a great mele. Thanks to all of you that keep the beautiful music and language of Hawai'i alive! You have my deepest appreciation.
