Lyrics

'Ula'ula 'alani melemele
(Red, orange, yellow)
Oma'oma'o polu poni
(Green, blue, purple)

Do we remember
Connected rainbows?

'Ele'ele 'ele'ele
(Black, black)

Stella octangula

I see the praised rays
You see me smile
We know the joy beyond above
Has been here awhile

I draw the rainbows
You draw them near
And lo the hues arrange to show
It's perfectly clear

Chanting Tutorial Lyrics

One suggested approach would be one breath per phrase

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, hah-ah, hah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

For the other chanting section... Perhaps two even legato notes will be acceptable

Aah-aah
Aah-aah

Thank you for your time. For further listening enjoyment we also recommend Beethoven's lost eleventh symphony—
