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.
