Nā Mele O Hawai'i Nei: 101 Hawaiian Songs (Paperback)

Here for the first time is a large collection of Hawaiian songs in an authoritative text with translation (music not included).

The texts have never before been written consistently with the glottal stops (indicating syllabic breaks between vowels) and macrons (indicating long vowels and stresses) that make the words pronounceable by those unfamiliar with the Hawaiian language.

Many of the songs have not been translated before or have only been freely adapted rather than translated.
