lirik lagu mana kaleilani caceres - couldn't take the mana
[verse 1]
another road built on sacred land
one more hotel gone upon our birth sands
where have all of our ali’i gone?
maybe they’ll return when they hear this song
[chorus]
they took the land (land)
they took “aloha” (aloha)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (and then kupuna)
broke the ohana
but they couldn’t take the mana
but they couldn’t take the mana
[verse 2]
another puka in the mountainside
one more bone move for a faster ride
where have all of our old ways gone?
maybe you’ll bring them back when you hear this song
[chorus]
they took the land (land)
they took “aloha” (aloha)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (and then kupuna)
broke the ohana
but they couldn’t take the mana
but they couldn’t take the mana
[verse 3]
i remember how things used to be
my tutu used to say as i sat upon his knee
we didn’t need a lot of money
we didn’t have a lot of things
the only mau mea we needed was what the akua brings
like the sunshine and the rain
and the wind was so much stronger
the life of the land must live forever and longer
[chorus]
they took the land (land)
they took “aloha” (aloha)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (kupuna)
broke the ohana
but they couldn’t take the mana
but they couldn’t take the mana
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
another ohana must move away
for better prices and lifestyles, so they say
where have all of our people gone?
one day they will return and sing this song
[chorus]
they took the land (land)
they took “aloha” (aloha)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (kupuna)
broke the ohana
but they couldn’t take the mana
but they couldn’t take the mana
they took the land (the land)
they took “aloha” (they took “aloha”)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (and then kupuna)
broke the ohana
but they couldn’t take the mana
but they couldn’t take the mana
they took the land (the land)
they took “aloha” (they took “aloha”)
they took the queen even though they didn’t know her
suppressed ikaika (suppressed ikaika)
and then kupuna (and then kupuna)
broke the ohana
