# TUMBAYA *Loa'a ka Moemoeā, Hula ka Lā.* **[INTRO — ʻIliʻili, Pā Lima, Leo Wahine ʻAʻano]** *(Dum… da-dum… pā!)* Aloha, ʻoe! ʻAe, ʻo ʻoe! He moemoeā kou i loko o ka ʻeke? He mele kou i loko o nā kamaʻa? E lawe mai! *(Hoʻomaka ka pahu bass e lele.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — ʻOIʻOI AFRO-HOUSE HĀʻULE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E hoʻokuʻu i ka lepo, hula aku! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! E ʻōlelo ka honua holoʻokoʻa, “E hele!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E lawe mai i nā moemoeā i ka lā! Hoʻokahi kapuai i waho, ʻElua kapuai i loko— TUMBAYA! E hoʻomaka nā manawa maikaʻi! **[VERSE 1 — ʻOLUʻOLU AFROBEATS, KIHOʻALU HIGHLIFE]** I ka pō ua hāʻule ka ua Ma luna o ka hale e pono ai ka mālama. I kēia kakahiaka, aia he ānuenue, A hui pū nā hoa noho. Ua lawe mai kekahi i ka mele, Ua lawe mai kekahi i ka palaoa. Ua lawe mai kekahi i ka manaʻo hou I noho ʻole i loko o ko lākou poʻo. Aia he wahine me ka hale kūʻai, He kanaka ʻōpio e aʻo ana i ka ʻoihana. Aia he keiki e kaha ana i ka hana hou Ma ka papahele i ka malu. ʻAʻohe kanaka i ʻike i ka lā ʻapōpō, ʻAʻohe kanaka i loaʻa ka papahana hemolele. Akā, lilo ka moemoeā i huakaʻi Ke hana mākou i nā mea hiki. **[PRE-CHORUS — HOʻONUI ʻOLOHE WAHINE]** ʻAʻole e kali i nā pane a pau, ʻAʻole e kali i ka lā hemolele. E lawe i ka manawa i mua ou, E ʻae i ke kani e alakaʻi. Inā he lā kau ka lā iā ʻoe, E hāʻawi aku i kekahi kanaka hou. Aia he honua o ka hiki Ke nui ka wahi no kāua! **[CHORUS — PIHA AMAPIANO LĀʻAU PĀHU HĀʻULE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E hoʻokuʻu i ka lepo, hula aku! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! E ʻōlelo ka honua holoʻokoʻa, “E hele!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E lawe mai i nā moemoeā i ka lā! Hoʻokahi kapuai i waho, ʻElua kapuai i loko— TUMBAYA! E hoʻomaka nā manawa maikaʻi! **[POST-CHORUS — ʻOLUʻOLU HULA ʻOIʻOI]** Tum! Tum! Hey! Hey! E hele i waho! Hoʻoluliluli! Ba! Ba! Pā! Pā! Huli! E hoʻihoʻi! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — LEAD WAHINE, PAHU BASS ʻOLUʻOLU]** Aia he mahiʻai me ka ʻohi, Aia he mea hana me ka moemoeā. Aia he haumāna e kūkulu ana i ka ʻike, Aia he kālepa e ʻimi ana i nā hui. Mai ke kauhale a ke kūlanakauhale, Mai ke kuahiwi a i ke kahakai, Ua loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau ka makana A me ka manawa e ʻike hou aku. Hoʻohui ʻo Sweefin i nā kānaka a me nā hiki, Kōkua i nā ʻoihana e ʻike i ke ala. Nā ala hou e mālama, kuapo, a kūʻai Hiki ke wehe i nā koho i kēlā me kēia lā. A i ka wā e loaʻa i kekahi ke ala, E loaʻa i kekahi kekahi ala. Aia he wā e makemake ai e hana Me nā mea a mākou e hiki ai. **[PRE-CHORUS — HŌʻEA ʻOLOHE]** ʻAʻole e kali i nā pane a pau, ʻAʻole e kali i ka lā hemolele. E lawe i ka manawa i mua ou, E ʻae i ke kani e alakaʻi. Inā he lā kau ka lā iā ʻoe, E hāʻawi aku i kekahi kanaka hou. Aia he honua o ka hiki Ke nui ka wahi no kāua! **[CHORUS — ʻAʻAPA DANCE HĀʻULE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E hoʻokuʻu i ka lepo, hula aku! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! E ʻōlelo ka honua holoʻokoʻa, “E hele!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E lawe mai i nā moemoeā i ka lā! Hoʻokahi kapuai i waho, ʻElua kapuai i loko— TUMBAYA! E hoʻomaka nā manawa maikaʻi! [Verse] Ina kaumaha ke ala i hele ai, Ua hāpai 'oe i nā kaumaha a pau, E 'ike i ka lokomaika'i, I nā wahi e 'imi nei i ka mana'olana. Pono ka noho a pau i ka hanohano, Pono ka leo a pau i ka mele. A puka ka wā maika'i aʻe, Ke kōkua kākou kekahi i kekahi. *(Mele e emi ana i ka pa'i pahu hoʻokahi.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** He moe i loko o ka 'eke... He mele i loko o nā kāma'a... Aia ka honua a pau e kali ana... No ka ne'e 'ana o 'oe! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: He moe kou? Crowd: 'Ae, he mau nō! Lead: He hula kou? Crowd: 'O wau a me 'oe! Lead: 'O wai e komo? Crowd: Nā mea a pau! Lead: E ne'e i kou kino! *(Pa'i pahu e pi'i ana.)* Tum! Tum! Hehi! Hehi! Pa! Pa! Palau! Palau! Ya! Ya! Huli a puni! TUMBAYA!

Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Lele nā leo i luna o ka ha'ina.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E 'oni i ka lepo a e hula aku! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! E 'ōlelo ka honua a pau, “E hele!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! E lawe mai i kou mau moemoeā i kēia lā! Ho'okahi ka hehi 'ana i waho, 'Elua ka hehi 'ana i loko— TUMBAYA! E hoʻomaka ka manawa leʻaleʻa! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** He tausani mau moemoeā, He tausani mau ala like 'ole. He pili hou, He mana'olana hou i nā lā a pau. Sweefin e lawe mai i nā ala hou e pili ai, E hana, e hoʻololi, a e ulu. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Pono ka moemoeā a pau i ka hula. TUMBAYA! *(Pa'i pahu leʻaleʻa hope loa.)*
