guitar chords lyrics
Lopaka (intro)
I auana kaua ke kama e kamalani, kamaholomoana (eo kanaloa).
Pili pae na lehulehu pua'oiwi o ka pakipika,
pa he'e o pele (a po uli uli).
Walking in the forrest on a moony night,
swimming in the river by the fire light,
looking at the stars and they be shining bright,
beauty was the only sight.
Ghetto taking over now its time to pay,
better know your roots before they slip away.
Mother nature had to cry again today,
theres rubbish in the bay.
Mearahi tamari'i i roto i te moana, te'ie mahana (Ahi'o i te miti).
Te haere nei ratou fa'a he'e i taharu'u
oaoa ratou e (oaoa ratou).
Mearahi tamari'i i roto i te moana, te'ie mahana (Ahi'o i te miti).
Te haere nei ratou fa'a he'e i taharu'u
oaoa ratou e (oaoa ratou).
Children of the sea give thanks today .
Without the water, theres no life .
When the rain comes falling down, when the rain comes falling down on me.
You won't see me run away.
Tell the kids they can come out to play.
Liwavi au nacagi ni wasa wasa niu tu eke,
yanuyanu ta lei (yanuyanu ta lei).
Lutuvi au na yalo e mamarau niu galo ne,
Lomani wai tui dei (Lomani wai tui dei).
Malu efi afi pea vana iki mai‘ae matangi,
fanogoa e peau (I he'ene fasi).
Avea ai sieku manatu ki sio fofonga,
ho'o faka ofo ofa (lau lo taha).
LOPAKA CHANT
Tele ai o le sami ua ou va'aia i le gatai fale,
va ou fiafia (ua ou fiafia).
ou foliga ua ou iloa i luga o galu,
toe fia tepa atu (toe fia tepa atu).
Nau mi sori na lukaluk i go na nambis i bagarap ya
solowara i karai ya (kilinim kilinim).
Asua bilo yumi toromwe pipia nabaut ya
rabis i silip arere (wasim em, wasim em).
