Didn't find it on Huapala...but it could be my surfing skills.
Frustrating morning with mis-leading searches takes you to sites--to "vultures" selling ringtones and t-shirts and plungers etc.
Would love the translation and words to this lovely song, if available.
I do have the cd, if I can find the insert...but really love those huapala layouts, when available--not the ringtone sales idiots I seem to trigger!

15. Ua Nani Niihau
Composed by Auntie Emalia Licayan & Music by Keale
The following is courtesy of Keale...
---------------------------------------------------
Niihau with her people, humble and strong, of the setting Sun; this song uses many of the island’s kaona (hidden meanings) and geography to tell a story of love. Auntie Emalia weaves Niihau’s history & geography into a sacred moena pawehe.
Ua nani Niihau, kuu aina
Ailana i kawelona a ka La
Ka La, kau mai ma Kahikina
Olino ana ike ana ulu
Na ulu kaulana i ka hapapa
Hooipo mau ana me kealoha
Ua nani Niihau, e kuu aloha e
----------------------------------------
on repetition of last line, it sounds like he changes it to "Ua Nani, Ni'ilu...if that makes sense.
I'll work on the translation now--some I see, others I'll need dictionary!
Thanks to (Walter) Keale, and Auntie Emalia for a beautiful song.
