## Lyrics

* Original Lyrics
* English translation
* Golden Mickeys version

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

There's no place I'd rather be

Than on my surfboard out at sea

Lingering in the ocean blue

And if I had one wish come true

I'd surf 'til the sun sets

Beyond the horizon

ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Flyin' by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride

ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha

ʻO ka moana hānupanupa

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one

Hele, hele mai kākou ē

Hawaiian roller coaster ride

There's no place I'd rather be

Than on the seashore dry, wet free

On golden sand is where I lay

And if I only had my way

I'd play 'til the sun sets

Beyond the horizon

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one

It's time to try the Hawaiian Roller coaster ride

Hang loose, hang ten, how'zit, shake a shaka

No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah

Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out

Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out

Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'

Coastin' with the motion of the ocean

Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling

Hawaiian roller coaster ride

There's no place I'd rather be

Than on my surfboard out at sea

Lingering in the ocean blue

And if I had one wish come true

I'd surf 'til the sun sets

Beyond the horizon

ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Flyin' by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride

ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha

ʻO ka moana hānupanupa

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one

Hele, hele mai kākou ē

*While the majority of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" is sung in English, the song's opening and chorus are sung in Hawaiian. The opening of the song – "ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē" – is a warm or affectionate greeting. The meaning of the chorus is:*

Hurry up, don't dally

Bring your surfboard

Broad waves are rising

The ocean is surging

Let's lay out in the warm sun

With the sea softly lapping at the dunes

Come on, let's go

Hawaiian roller coaster ride

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha

ʻO ka moana hānupanupa

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one

Hele, hele mai kākou ē

Hawaiian roller coaster ride

There's no place I'd rather be

Than on my surfboard out at sea

Lingering in the ocean blue

And if I had one wish come true

I'd surf 'til the sun sets

Beyond the horizon

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Flyin' by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride

Hele, hele mai kākou ē

Hawaiian roller coaster ride!

*(instrumental verse)*

It's time to try the Hawaiian roller coaster ride!

Hang loose, hang ten, how'zit, shake a shaka

No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah

Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out

Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out

Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'

Coastin' with the motion of the ocean

Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling

Hawaiian roller coaster ride

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

Aloha ē, aloha ē

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē

There's no place I'd rather be

Than on my surfboard out at sea

Lingering in the ocean blue

And if I had one wish come true

I'd surf 'til the sun sets

Beyond the horizon

Lalala i ka lā hanahana

Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu

Flyin' by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride!
