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

Aloha e aloha e
Greetings, love and affection to you

'Ano 'ai ke aloha e
Behold the aloha spirit within me

Aloha ae aloha e
Love returns love

A nu ay ki aloha e
I will love you always

There's no place I'd rather be
I can't think of any place I'd rather be

Then on my surfboard out at sea
Than riding my surfboard over the ocean waves

Lingering in the ocean blue
Staying in the blue ocean

And If I had one wish come true
If one of my wishes could be granted

I'd surf till the sun sets
I would surf until the sunset

A wiki wiki mai lohi lohi
Quickly, hurry up

Lawe mai I ko papa he'e nalu
Bring my surfboard

Flyin by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride
Riding the Hawaiian roller coaster ride at high speed

Pi'I na nalu la lahalaha
Climbing the breaking waves

O ka moana hanupanupa
The captivating ocean

Lalala I kala hanahana
Swaying to the rhythm

Me ke kai hoene I ka pu'e one
With the ocean spray on the sandy beach

Helehele mai kakou e
Let's all go together

There's no place I'd rather be
I can't think of any place I'd rather be

Than on the seashore dry, wet free
Than on the beach, enjoying both the dry and wet

On golden sand is where I lay
I lay down on the golden sand

And if I only had my way
If my wish came true

I'd play til the sun sets
I would play until the sunset

Beyond the horizon
Farther than where the sky meets the ocean

Hang loose, hang ten, howzit, shake a shaka
Relax, ride the board's nose, hello, give a thumbs up

No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah
No need to worry or be afraid, it's not a problem my friend

Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out
Carving turns in various directions

Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out
Surfing lingo describing various techniques and mistakes

Looking for the wipe-out
Trying to catch a wave to wipe out

Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'
Get ready to surf as the waves are good

Coastin' with the motion of the ocean
Riding the waves like it's a roller coaster on the sea

Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling
Describing the ocean waves and currents

Hawaiian roller coaster ride
A thrilling and adventurous activity on the Hawaiian coast, comparable to riding a roller coaster
