HāwaneAbout
ʻOnipaʻa can be split between the words “ʻoni” which means to shake or shift and “paʻa” which means affixed or set solid. When combined the word ʻOnipaʻa means steadfast, set solid and immovable.
Adding “e” to the front of it means “to do” whatever word follows. In this case, “To stand firm”

E ʻOni a Paʻa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now listen up when-a we say
We're not movin' up and out of your way
So go on home, tend to your own
Now listen up when-a we say
We're not a-movin' up and out of your way
So go on home, leave this mountain alone
[Chorus]
You have a chance to stand with us and lift your voice
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
[Verse 2]
Now listen up when-a we say
You can't ask for compromise and have it your way
So go on home, tend to your own
Now listen up when-a we say
You can't ask for compromise and have it your way
So go on home, leave this mountain alone
[Chorus]
You have a chance to stand with us and lift your voice
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanna wave your flag upside, upside
Wave it high, wave it high
You wanna wave your flag downside, downside
Wave it high, wave it high
You wanna wave your flag upside, upside
Wave it high, wave it high
You wanna wave your flag downside, downside
Wave it high, wave it high
[Chorus]
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
E ʻoni a paʻa, a hiki i ke aloha ʻāina hope loa
Aloha ʻāina!
[Outro]
Do not mistake our aloha for weakness
For we are fierce in for our love for our land
Aloha ʻāina, Aloha ʻāina
Do not mistake our aloha for weakness
For we are fierce in for our love for our land
Aloha ʻāina, Aloha ʻāina
Respect, respect, respect
