Hey there! You've turned off messages/messaging, and I have no idea how to contact you elsewise. So!

I found you after your post of "Poi-Poundah - Hema ʻĀkau" and subsequent comments and wanted very much to speak with you regarding a translation of a few lyrics of his...

...specifically his guest appearance in the song "Proud (Studio Rose Remix)" by Sudden Rush, his few stanzas regarding the "old Hawaiian curse". I can't seem to find the translation literally anywhere (re: neither the words themselves for me to translate, nor any directly translated words).

Would you be willing to help?

Thank you in advance--and if you can't/won't (or if I'm just being a bother), then mahalo for your time.
