WORDS TOSONGS

 

Jibber Jabber
By Leon Siu and Malia Elliott
Jibber, Jabber, Chitter, Chatter… Auwe!
Jibber Jabber on the grass,
All your talking makes us laugh,
Chitter chatter in the tree,
Noisy as you can be!
Jibber, Jabber, Chitter, Chatter
Jibber-Jabber, Chitter-Chatter… Auwe!
Jibber Jabber all day long,
Won’t you ever sing your song,
Chitter, Chatter in the tree,
Noisy as you can be!
Jibber (jibber) Jabber (jabber) Chitter (chitter),
Chatter (chatter)
Jibber, Jabber, Chitter, Chatter… Auwe!
Jibber (jibber) Jabber (jabber)
In the tree,
Noisy as you can be!
Noisy as you can be!
Noisy as you can be!
Jibber, Jabber, Chitter, Chatter … Auwe!

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa
by Leon Siu
(Keiki)

Why does such a little fish have such a great big name?
Just learning how to say it is driving me insane.
(Humu)
But it’s not hard to learn to do it while we sing and play,
This great big name is easy is you follow what I say.
(Chorus)
Just say Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a)
Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a).
Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a)
Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a).
(Humu)
Just like a baby has to learn to crawl before it walks
You have to take a little at a time.
If you can say a syllable then you can say a word,
Then you put the words all in a line.
(Chorus)
Just say Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a)
Humu (humu) nuku (nuku) apua’a (apua’a).
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a
(Keiki)
Now we know the name of this famous little fish,
Now we can sing it everywhere we go.
And if somebody wonders what
we’re saying all the while,
We’ll say, “It’s O-FISH-AL”… and smile.
(Chorus)
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a
Humu-humu-nuku-nuku apua’a

Pueo
by Leon Siu and Malia Elliott
Pueo, glide on the wind,
And we’ll whisper your name in the forest,
In the night time you’ll be there.
Pueo, look through the leaves,
And we’ll know that someone is watching,
If we need you, you’ll be there.
Pueo, come and spread open your wings,
Pueo, keep us from harm,
Pueo, come and spread open your wings,
If we need you, you will come.
Pueo, glide on the wind,
Pueo, watch through the leaves,
Pueo, open your wings, Pueo.

We must give you special care,
Nene, come and play.

Come be with us today,
Gentle Nene, come and play today.
So glad you’re here to stay!

Hokulea

by Leon Siu
Hokule‘a you are the shining star,
Star of Gladness lighting up Hawaiian skies.
High up in the heavens above us,
Faithfully shine in the night.
Forever shine, (forever shine) Hokule‘a
Shine in the night over Hawai‘i
Forever shine, (forever shine) Hokule‘a
Shine on in history
Hokule‘a you are the sailing star,
Star of Gladness gliding on the open sea.
Dancing on the ocean of destiny,
Sailing so proud and so free!
Forever sail, (forever sail) Hokule‘a
Sail on moana for Hawai‘i
Forever sail, (forever sail) Hokule‘a
Sail on victory.
Forever sail, (forever sail) Hokule‘a
Sail on moana for Hawai‘i
Forever sail, (forever sail) Hokule‘a
Sail on history,
Sail on victory,
Sail on in history

Chorus from Na‘Ai Ono by Clarence Kinney

Notchy
by Leon Siu and Malia Elliott
Every year we wait for you to come again,
Our majestic brother of the deep.
Swim far across the wide open sea,
Come to me, come to me.
Chorus:
Notchy, Notchy, come on home again,
And we’ll play in the warm sunny sea,
Notchy, Notchy, let me hear your voice again
And your song will be a lullaby to me.
Just imagine the stories you can tell
Of high adventure on the open sea.
We know it must be a whale of a tale,
‘ Cause your tale, dear whale, is Notchy.
Chorus:
Notchy, Notchy, come on home again,
And we’ll play in the warm sunny sea,
Notchy, Notchy, let me hear your voice again
And your song will be a lullaby to me.
Notchy, let me hear your voice again
And your song will be a lullaby to me.

We Are Family (The Ohana Song)

by Leon Siu and Malia Elliott
We live in Hawaii as a family,
We say ‘OHANA! - that means family,
Under the shade of the coconut tree,
So very special to me.

We are family, family,
A very special kind of people, family,
We are Family, family,
A very special kind of people, family.
We live in Hawaii as a family,
We say LOKAHI! - that means harmony,
Under the shade of the coconut tree,
So very special to me.

We live in Hawaii as a family,
We say ALOHA! - from our family,
Under the shade of the coconut tree,
So very special to me.
(Chorus:)
(repeat Chorus)
A very special kind of people, family!
