Lyrics
Intro
Aia no i Laka
Aia no i Laka
Chorus
She’s the flower on the altar and the breeze in the ferns
Teaching every limb the lesson that the body learns
Oh Laka
Sweet Laka
Moving like a mountain mist through the morning light
Turning every motion into something bright
Oh Laka
Beautiful Laka
Verse 1
Kāohi i ke kīpuka
Fragrant ginger on her skin
Hali‘a mai ke aloha
That’s where the forest starts and the dance can begin
The rhythm in the roots
Pre-Chorus
Green leaves wrapping up her ankles tight
Moon rise coming with a hula night
Ua sila me ke aloha
Chorus
She’s the flower on the altar and the breeze in the ferns
Teaching every limb the lesson that the body learns
Oh Laka
Sweet Laka
Moving like a mountain mist through the morning light
Turning every motion into something bright
Oh Laka
Beautiful Laka
Bridge
Pā maila ka makani
Sweeping through the valley floor
He nani
He nani
I can't take it anymore
Verse 2
I waho i ka nahele
Yellow birds watch her hands
Pōmaika‘i mākou
She is the goddess of these emerald lands
Spirit in the wood
Pre-Chorus
Lehua blooming where her footsteps go
Stories moving in a steady flow
Pule i ke akua
Chorus
She’s the flower on the altar and the breeze in the ferns
Teaching every limb the lesson that the body learns
Oh Laka
Sweet Laka
Moving like a mountain mist through the morning light
Turning every motion into something bright
Oh Laka
Beautiful Laka
Post-Chorus
He wehi
He wehi
Aloha nō
Aloha nō
Outro
I luna, i lalo, i uka, i kai
(Everything is feeling right)
The forest lady with the hula eye
Kani ka pū, the shell is blowing
Now she's going where the rain is flowing
Laka
(Talkbox: La-ka)
Laka
(Vocoder: Aloha nō)
E ho‘i mai ana
E ho‘i mai ana
A hui hou
Until we meet in the grove once more
Down on the valley floor
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
She's the breath, the soul, the hula mana
Mahalo
(Talkbox: Mahalo)
Laka
(Laka)
Gone into the green
The finest thing I’ve ever seen
Aloha e
Aloha e
End
