Lyrics
ekahi ‘elua’ ekolo
Ev’ry little coconut carries paradise inside
Dancing on the ocean waves
Just waiting to root her beauty in the sand
akau hema, akau hema, akau hema
a hui hou, a hui hou
Ever since time begun
Coconut swim in morning sun
Until coconut hit sandy bit
Coconut make island with it
Coconut unleashes life
Roots in sand as stingrays dive
Coconut makes shady leaves
A welcoming cradle of creation
akau hema, akau hema, akau hema
a hui hou, a hui hou
Ever since time begun
Coconut swim in morning sun
Until coconut hit sandy bit
Coconut make island with it
Baby palmtree drink coconut water
Coconut water the water of life!
Baby palmtree drink coconut water
Coconut water the water of life!
Bugs and bees and birds and seeds
And some little millipedes
Come with wind and find a home
In the leafy humus by the sea foam.
akau hema, akau hema, akau hema
a hui hou, a hui hou
Story
A single coconut can turn a sandbank into a wildlife paradise. A song celebrating the power of nature.
