about
A remake of Andra Day's amazing song; 'Rise Up" This special version was created to honor our essential workers, first responders, our beautiful islands of Hawai'i AND the WORLD! We must come together to "RISE UP!", or in our native Hawaiian Language "E ALA E!" Love, Peace, Unity, and ALOHA for ALL!
lyrics
(Verse 1)
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gon' walk it out
And move mountains, we gon' walk it out
And move mountains
Chorus
And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again
I'll rise up, high like the waves
I'll rise up, in spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you, for you, for you, for you
(Verse 2 in Hawaiian)
KA MANAWA HAMAU 'OLE KA HAMAU
KA PA'AKIKI NEI I KA HANU
MAOPOPO AU MAKEMAKE 'OE E MAKE
HO'OHIKI AU E LAWE I KA HONUA I LALO
A ME NE'E NA, MAUNA
E LAWE I KA HONU I LALO
A ME NE'E NA, MAUNA
(Chorus in Hawaiian)
E ALA E, E ALA LIKE ME KE AO
E ALA E, E ALA MAI MAKA'U

E HANA ANA HO'OKAHI KAUKANI MANAWA HOU (ooohhhh)
NO 'OE, NO 'OE, NO 'OE, NO 'OE
(Bridge in Hawaiian)
PONO WALE MAKOU I KA MANA 'OLANA

LOA'A KAUA KEKAHI I KEKAHI
E ALA E KAKOU
E ALA E KAKOU
E ALA E KAKOU (E ala e kakou)
E ALA E KAKOU (E ala e kakou)
(Chorus)
And I'll rise up, rise like the day
I'll rise up, in spite of the ache
I will rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again (oohhhhhh)
And I'll rise up, rise like the day
I'll rise up, in spite of the ache (e ala e kakou)
I will rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again (e ala e kakou)
And we'll rise up, rise like the waves
We'll rise up, in spite of the ache
We will rise up (e ala e kakou), and we'll do it a thousand times again
(e ala e kakou)
