(Too bad she never did a full one. Also this one's sung by Chinese Canadian, so...a few guys have complaints about it not being authentic Chinese. Now if I could find the Cantonese version.)

 

[spoiler=Moana-based stuff]

 

(Yeah, this one's in Hawaiian [and does make sense, since Moana's VA in English hails from Mililani and has some Hawaiian ancestry too, so...])

 

 

(I posted this before, but yeah, closest you're getting to a Pacific Island version [with no English]. If it helps, transliterated from English, but to what extent the words connect, I don't know.])

ʻIke maka i ka ʻalihi lani
Hāliʻaliʻa
Noʻonoʻo iho nō
Kuʻu nohona kuʻuna
Kuʻuʻi ini no ka hoʻokele ō

Huli aku nei, huli mai nei nō
He meheuheu, ʻoia wale nō
He ʻāina ʻē, e kāhea mai nei
E Kahiki ē

ʻO ke kai pili mai me ka lani o luna
ʻAuhea ʻoe, mōʻiu ʻoe
Hele waʻa, e Moana I kaʻāina o lalo
Eō mai ō
I ka holokai ʻana i Kahiki
ʻŌʻōʻōʻō (2x)

He ʻohana kēia
He mauli ola
He hauʻoli maʻamau
Kēlā kuleana
Hoʻomaopopo, kamaʻāina ʻoia mau

Hoʻokele au i ke kai koʻo
Holomua au, ʻoia ʻiʻo nō
He aliʻi wau, hele aku nō
Hiki paha nō?

ʻIke mai, haka mai i ka lā kolili
Ka ʻili kai, hohonu (ke) kai
Ō mai, hea mai i ke kai malino
Maiʻōa ʻō
Hele aku nō, ʻoia iho nō

ʻO ke kai pili mai me ka lani o luna
ʻAuhea ʻoe, mōʻiu ʻoe
Hele waʻa, e Moana I kaʻāina o lalo
Eō mai e Kahiki ē

Yeah, here's the Hawaiian equivalent for "How Far I'll Go".

 

Note: Moana does translate to "ocean" in Hawaiian and other Polynesian (probably Melanesian/Micronesian too) languages. But yeah, take this as you will.
