Puka mai ana
This song was written specifically for Jody Huia. The english translation does not adiquately capture the emotion that is present in Hawaiian.The English translation is not a word for word translation. Many times there are no English word that match the Hawaiian so English phrases are used to try to capture the Hawaiian meaning.
