Lyrics
Verse 1
She wakes up when the wild roosters start their morning crowing
No makeup on her face
Barefoot down to the salty shore where the green waves are growing
Taking up space
Hale i ke kai
He uʻi maoli nō
Smiling at the tourists who lost their way in the canyon
Eating mango with a knife
Pre-Chorus
She breathes in the floral air
Sunlight stuck in her tangled hair
Just a local girl living there
Chorus
Oh the Hawaii woman knows the secrets of the mountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
Drinking sweet water from the hidden forest fountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
She's got that aloha style
Every single mile
Pure and true
Just being you
Post-Chorus
He nani no
He nani no
(Talkbox: She's so fine)
Verse 2
Her grandma taught her how to weave the dry lauhala strands
Strong and steady fingers
Working magic with those brown and weathered hands
Where the memory lingers
E hana me ke aloha
Kukui nuts shine dark
She don't need a fancy dress or a diamond ring to show
Living off the park land
Pre-Chorus
She breathes in the floral air
Sunlight stuck in her tangled hair
Just a local girl living there
Chorus
Oh the Hawaii woman knows the secrets of the mountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
Drinking sweet water from the hidden forest fountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
She's got that aloha style
Every single mile
Pure and true
Just being you
Post-Chorus
He nani no
He nani no
(Talkbox: Aloha)
Bridge
Blue pacific pounding on the lava rocks outside
Mahina rising over the bay
Nothing to hide
Nothing to say
Aloha e
Aloha nō
Nature is her only flow
Chorus
Oh the Hawaii woman knows the secrets of the mountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
Drinking sweet water from the hidden forest fountain
E ka wahine o ka uka
She's got that aloha style
Every single mile
Pure and true
Just being you
Post-Chorus
He nani no
He nani no
(Vocoder: She is the island breeze)
(Talkbox: Island girl)
