Israel Kamakawiwo Ole' - Maui Hawaiian Supaman lyrics

rate me

<b>Maui, Hawaiian Supaman</b> by <i>Israel Kamakawiwo'ole</i><br />old is the tale of the mischievous one

who fished out all the islands and captured the sun

his deeds and tasks i will unmask

so that you'll understand

that before there was a Clark Kent

there was a Hawaiian Supaman

He fished out all the islands with a magic hook

there would've been more but somebody looked

in blue morning sky, the sun he entwined

to slow down his flight, so kapa could dry

Chorus:

Mischievous, marvelous,magical Maui

hero of this land

the one, the only, the ultimate Hawaiian Supaman

Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman

Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman

The secret of fire was locked somewhere in time

So when the Ahi died in the Hula Kuke, no way to re-ignite

So off he goes in search of those who hold the information

So that fire could be used by all the future generations

He found out the Alae held the fire connection

But his plan of deception fell short of perfection

With no other choice he had to get mean

So he squeezed Alae's got throat until she screamed the secret.

E hana kou i ka hui

(repeat chorus)
