That's really Daniel Ho (who used that band name for the music he created for the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" soundtrack).

You can contact him via his website:

‘A’OHE LIKE ME ‘OE / NOTHING COMPARES 2 U
Hawaiian lyrics translated by Amy Ku’uleialoha Stillman

E lau nā hola, e lau nā lā
I kāohi ‘ia kou aloha
‘Auana i ka pō, hiamoe i ka lā
I kāohi ‘ia kou aloha
I ha’alele aku ‘oe, i kuakahi au
Pau ‘ākoakoa i nā hoa ā pau
‘Ai a ma’ona, e inu a kena
Akā na’e
Akā lu’ulu’u nā waimaka (no ka mea )
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe

Ua mehameha au i ka pō
Me he manu kani ‘ole
E hakuko’i nei i ka pu’uwai
E ō mai, ‘aihea ka hewa
E halihali ana i mau ‘aikane, akā
He hali’a wale no iā ‘oe
Na ku’u haku i mālama ia’u
E ho’oku’u ka na’au
E ho’ole’a a lawa
E ho’ola ke kino
Akā (na’e)
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe


Nā kumula’au i kanu ‘ia i ke kīhāpai
E kali ana i kou ho’i mai
Nipo ninipo i ka ‘ena aloha
Pela ka ‘ano’i ma ka pu’uwai (no ka mea)
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe

Aloha e Amy

I heard you are the one who translated this lyric to 'Olelo Hawai'i.
Mahalo for sharing.
