Saw this artist in the Hawaiian episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. He sang this song entitled "Maunaleo". I did not know what it actually meant, but the sound was just awesome.

Here it is:




And here's the English translation (apparently):

Maunaleo

Beloved indeed in Maunaleo.
Sparkling in the light, wind-blown rain.
A finely woven cloak for for the highlands.
A cherished one respected for power and strength
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.

Capped by the silver of the rolling mists.
An adornment for that gentle heart
Embraced by the surrounding ridges
One to hold close, to hold near and to love.
One dear to the heart, precious and exalted.

This is my garland of affection
For Maunaleo in its beauty.
Glorified by the Malie breeze.
A cherished one, respected for power and strength,
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.

For Maunaleo is the serenity of deep love.
Beloved are you, beloved indeed.
An adornment for that gentle heart.

(English lyrics from Keleanna Kaye of imeem.com)

Found other songs of his and they were all just fantastic.
