“Maui Hawiian Sup’pa Man” Lyrics

Told is the tale of the mischievous one
Who fished out the islands
And captured the sun
His deeds and task I will unmask
So that you’ll understand
That before there was a Clark Kent
There was a Hawaiian Sup’pa Man
He fished off the island with the magic hook
There would have been more
But somebody look
In blue morning skies 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 Suppa Man
Maui, Maui, Maui,
Hawaiian Suppa Man
Maui, oh Maui, oh Maui
Hawaiian Suppa Man

The secret of fire was lost somewhere in time
So when the ahi died in the hale kuke
No way to re-ignite
So off he goes in search of those
Who hold the information
So fire could be used by all the future generations
He found that alae had the fire connection
But his plan of deception
Fell short from perfection
With no other choice he had to get mean
So he squeezed alae’s throat
Until she screamed the secret

シンプルな英語の歌詞なので分かりやすいと思います。
ノリとしては、”Tengoku Kara Kaminari“に似た雰囲気がありますね。
