Mele Kalikimaka: A Tropical Christmas Greeting
Lyrics
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
Expressing that saying "Mele Kalikimaka" is the customary thing to do
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
Referring to a sunny and vibrant Christmas day in Hawaii
That's the island greeting that we send to you
Describing the traditional island greeting sent to the recipient
From the land where palm trees sway
Indicating the origin of the greeting, from a land with swaying palm trees
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
Highlighting the expectation of a green and bright Christmas in Hawaii
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Describing the anticipated weather with sunshine during the day and starry nights
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
Reiterating that "Mele Kalikimaka" is the Hawaiian way of expressing Merry Christmas
To say Merry Christmas to you
Concluding the greeting, wishing a Merry Christmas to the recipient
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
Repeating the idea that "Mele Kalikimaka" is the appropriate phrase
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
Restating the vision of a bright Christmas day in Hawaii
That's the island greeting that we send to you
Reaffirming the island greeting sent from a place with swaying palm trees
From the land where palm trees sway
Confirming the tropical origin of the Christmas message
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
Echoing the anticipation of a green and bright holiday season in Hawaii
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Repeating the description of the expected weather with sunny days and starry nights
