# LUMBALELE *E Hula Ka Mana‘olana I Ka Honua* [INTRO — KAHEA PERCUSSION ME KA LEO LEʻALEʻA] *(Ekolu pā lima. Hoʻokani ka bassline.)* Aloha! Na wai i ʻōlelo ʻaʻole e ʻā ka lā? Na wai i ʻōlelo nui loa kou mau moeʻuhane? E hoʻolohe! Aia ka hula i loko ou ʻAʻohe mea e hiki ke lawe aku! Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! Makaukau kākou? LUMBALELE! [CHORUS — HULI ʻAMI AFRO-HOUSE / AMAPIANO] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! E huli ka hauʻoli mai luna a lalo! He-ya, he-ya, oh! E hōʻike i ka honua holoʻokoʻa! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! He mau ala he lehulehu e ulu ai! E komo i ka lā! E kahe ana ka hauʻoli! LUMBALELE! E kahe ka leo maikaʻi! [VERSE 1 — ʻOLUʻOLU AFROBEATS, KIʻI HIGHLIFE] I ka pō ʻeleʻele loa, Aia nō he kukui iki. Na nā puʻuwai i hilinaʻi, Hoʻopaʻa i ka manaʻolana. Kahi e kū ai nā pā pōhaku, E kūkulu mākou i ke alahaka. Kahi i pani ai ke ala, Aia he ala hou e hele ai. He leo e pono ai ke lohe, He lima e pono ai ke hoa. He moeʻuhane hou e hoʻomaka, He moʻolelo e pau ʻole. ʻO kēlā me kēia kanaka he kumu, ʻO kēlā me kēia ola he kūpono. A ʻoi aku ka manaʻolana Ke hoʻokipa kākou e hula. [PRE-CHORUS — HOʻOPILI MAI NĀ LEO WAHINE] Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka hula? Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ke kani? ʻO ia ka puʻuwai o ka lā ʻapōpō E neʻe ana ma waena o ka poʻe hula. E hele a hoʻomau i ka hele, E alakaʻi kou wiwo ʻole. He honua o nā mea hiki E kali ana no ka lā hou! [CHORUS — KEKAHI AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! E huli ka hauʻoli mai luna a lalo! He-ya, he-ya, oh! E hōʻike i ka honua holoʻokoʻa! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! He mau ala he lehulehu e ulu ai! E komo i ka lā! E kahe ana ka hauʻoli! LUMBALELE! E kahe ka leo maikaʻi! [POST-CHORUS — KĀHEA PAʻI HULA] Lum! Lum! E hele i ka ʻākau! Ba! Ba! E hele i ka hema! Le! Le! E hāpai i nā lima! LUMBALELE! E lele kou ʻuhane! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! E nā kānaka! Eia mākou! [VERSE 2 — ʻOLOHE WAHINE LEADING, HOʻOHELE BASS] He makuahine me ka makemake, He makua kāne e hoʻolālā ana. He keiki e ʻike i ka lā ʻapōpō Piha i nā mea kupanaha. He mahiʻai me ka ʻohiʻohi, He kālepa me ka moeʻuhane. He mea hou e hana ana, ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia e kekahi. Mai ke kauhale a ke kūlanakauhale, Mai nā mauna a ke kai, E lawe mai kēlā me kēia kanaka i ka talena, He kūpono kēlā me kēia ola. Hoʻohui ka Sweefin i nā kānaka a me nā mea hiki, E kōkua ana i ka ʻoi aku ka ulu. Ke hiki aku ka manawa kūpono i kahi mamao, Hiki i nā moeʻuhane ke hoʻomaka e hōʻike. [PRE-CHORUS — KĀHEA HUI] Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka hula? Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ke kani? ʻO ia ka puʻuwai o ka lā ʻapōpō E neʻe ana ma waena o ka poʻe hula. E hele a hoʻomau i ka hele, E alakaʻi kou wiwo ʻole. He honua o nā mea hiki E kali ana no ka lā hou! [CHORUS — ʻAHIʻAHI HULA] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! E huli ka hauʻoli mai luna a lalo! He-ya, he-ya, oh! E hōʻike i ka honua holoʻokoʻa! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! He mau ala he lehulehu e ulu ai! E komo i ka lā! E kahe ana ka hauʻoli! LUMBALELE! E kahe ka leo maikaʻi! [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR] Ina ua poina ʻoe i kekahi manawa, Ina ua kū ʻoe me ka hāmau, E ʻike i ka puka hāmama, E ʻike i kahi e kapa ʻia o ka hale. Ina ua lohi nā moeʻuhane, Ina ua lohi ke alahele, E loaʻa ka wiwo ʻole iki I nā hua o kēia mele. ʻOi aku ʻoe ma mua o nā pilikia, ʻOi aku ʻoe ma mua o nehinei. Aia he wā e hiki mai ana, Aia he ala maikaʻi e hana ai. A ʻo ka makana nui loa a mākou e hāʻawi aku ai ʻO ka manaʻo e hoʻihoʻi ai. Ke hāpai mākou i kekahi, Hiki iā mākou ke wehe i puka hou. [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC FADES TO ONE HEARTBEAT] *(Soft female voice)* ʻAʻole ʻoe nā kūlana. ʻAʻole ʻoe o nehinei. ʻO ʻoe kahi honua o nā manawa kūpono. A ke kākau ʻia kou moʻolelo. *(A second heartbeat.)* No laila e lawe i hoʻokahi kapuaʻi… A laila kekahi… A e hula pū ka honua me ʻoe! [DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead: He moeʻuhane kāu?
