Ta Ha Ua La - by Alvin K. Isaacs |
The Hawaiians never let a bit of worry, worry them (they never worry) And they surely never ever let a hurry, hurry them (they never hurry) They take it easy, real easy, easy They never worry, they never hurry They have proven life is worthwhile if you take it easy The Hawaiians be happy with a kumu in your arm (ʻuheʻuhene) No humuhumunukunuku but a kumu in your arms (ʻuheʻuhene) You start to tease her Then you squeeze her You try and please her And then embrace her And all the time you’ll find it’s better if you take it easy Ta ha ua la e ta hu ahu aʻi la ha ʻUheʻuhene e ʻuhene la e pili toʻo lua la ha ʻuheʻuhene E ʻuhene la e ʻuhene la e ʻuhene la E ʻuhene la e ʻuhene la e ʻuhene la E ʻuhene e pili toʻo lua laha E ʻuhene la e pili toʻo lua laha ʻUheʻuhene puti tuʻi lu a ite tuʻe tuʻe laha ʻUheʻuhene puti tuʻi lu Puti tuʻi lua, puti tuʻi lua, puti tuʻi lua Puti tuʻi lua ite toʻe toʻe e laha Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana laha ʻUheʻuhene e kuʻu mea ita hana hana pono laha ʻUheʻuhene e tuʻu meʻa hana E tuʻu meʻa hana, e tuʻu meʻa hana E tuʻu meʻa hana, e tuʻu meʻa hana Ita hana hana pono laha ha |
