Anyone know of any Hawaiian music with lyrics that are actually in Hawaiian? The only one
I've been able to find is He Mele No Lilo, from Lilo and Stitch. I love that song and wish I could find more Hawaiian music! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Most CDs by the late Israel Kamakawiwoʻole contain some Hawai'ian songs.
BTW, Project Gutenberg has PDF files of some Hawaiian textbooks and dictionaries: Hawaiian Dictionary by Mary Kawena Pukui Spoken Hawaiian By Samuel H. Elbert Hawaiian Grammar by Samuel H Elbert Edited by Doitsujin on 13 June 2014 at 2:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Of course, also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Hawaii and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hawaiian_songwriters.
Notably, the last Hawaiian monarch was a very talented songwriter. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Here's a song I heard last Saturday at the Kaka‘ako Farmers’ Market: Kaulana Nā Pua (lyrics and translation here). I'd heard it many times before, but never appreciated its deeper significance until I asked the singer what it was called and looked up its history and the Hawaiian translation at home.
