Farewell (to) Thee, farewell (to) Thee

Sweet fragrance dwelling in the dark forest
"One fond embrace", a ho`i a`e au
One fond embrace, before I now leave

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride
Mark Keali`i Ho`omalu & Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus

Translation and audio, courtesy of  Ryan Kawailani Ozawa

Aloha e, aloha e,
Aloha e, aloha e,
`Ano `ai ke Aloha e
`Ano 'ai ke Aloha e (repeat all).

Verse 1

There's no place I'd rather be
Than on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And if I had one wish come true
I'd surf 'til the sun sets beyond the horizon

Âwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he`e nalu
Flying by on a Hawaiian roller coaster ride.

Chant Chorus I

Âwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he`e nalu
Pi`i nâ nalu, la lahalaha
O ka moana, hanupanupa
Lalala i ka la hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu`e one
Helehele mai kâkou e
Hawaiian roller coaster ride.

Verse 2

There's no place I'd rather be
Than on the seashore dry, wet free
On golden sand is where I'd lay
And if I only had my way
I'd play 'til the sun sets beyond the horizon

Lalala i ka la hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu`e one
It's time to try the Hawaiian roller coaster ride.

 Chant Chorus 2

Hang loose, hang ten, howzit, shake a shaka


No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah
Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out
Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out
Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'
Coastin' with the motion of the ocean
Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling
Hawaiian roller coaster ride.

Verse 3

There's no place I'd rather be
Than on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And if I had one wish come true
I'd surf 'til the sun sets beyond the horizon
Âwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he`e nalu
Flying by on a Hawaiian roller coaster ride.

Chant Chorus 3

Âwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he'e nalu
Pi'i na nalu, la lahalaha
O ka moana, hanupanupa
Lalala i ka la hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu`e one
Helehele mai kâkou e
Hawaiian roller coaster ride
