By FITSNews || If at any point in your life you’ve crushed on actress Mila Kunis as hard as we have, then this is going to be familiar territory for you.
If not … then get with the program. For real.
Anyway, by far and away our favorite Kunis flic (at least until that lesbian ballet movie comes out) is Forgetting Sarah Marshall – a 2008 romantic comedy from the Judd Apatow franchise. The movie – which intersects the love lives of a TV star, hotel attendant, aspiring puppeteer, vampire, rock-n-roll star (and dutch doctor) – ends with a gorgeous Hawaiian language version of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” performed by Daniel Ho (under the pseudonym The Coconutz).
A ballad that ‘The Artist’ wrote in the mid-eighties for singer Susannah Melvoin, the song appeared on the one and only album released by Prince’s side project, The Family, but was largely unnoticed until British singer Sinead O’Connor turned it into a worldwide No. 1 hit in the Spring of 1990.
And since we were in a Hawaiian sort of mood today (for some reason), well …
And here’s the lyrics …
‘A’Ohe Like Me ‘Oe (a.k.a. Nothing Compares 2 U)
Written by: Prince
Vocals by: Daniel Ho
Music by: The Coconutz
Hawaiian lyrics translated by Amy Ku’uleialoha Stillman
E lau na hola, e lau na la
I k’ohi ‘ia kou aloha
Auana i ka po, hiamoe i ka la
I kaohi ‘ia kou aloha
I ha’alele aku ‘oe, i kuakahi au
Pau ‘akoakoa i na hoa a pau
‘Ai a ma’ona, e inu a kena
Aka na’e
Aka lu’ulu’u na waimaka (no ka mea)
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe
Ua mehameha au i ka po
Me he manu kani ‘ole
E hakuko’i nei i ka pu’uwai
E o mai, ‘aihea ka hewa
E halihali ana i mau ‘aikane, aka
He hali’a wale no ia ‘oe
Na ku’u haku i malama ia’u
E ho’oku’u ka na’au
E ho’ole’a a lawa
E ho’ola ke kino
Aka (na’e)
‘A’ohe like
‘A’ohe like me ‘oe
Na kumula’au i kanu ‘ia i ke kihapai
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
