Glee Club, Music Room, Thursday Afternoon [ 03/10 ].
"Okay, guys!" Ariel was, of course, incredibly bouncy and excited to get to a lot of work for this coming weekend. "Big day today! Anyone who wants to perform this weekend for everyone's visitors, we've really got to kick it out and get it together today! And don't worry if you don't want to perform; it's entirely optional, but definitely tell everyone about it! I'll put up posters, too, and I was thinking Saturday afternoon on the beach? Ooh, or maybe sunset would be nice! What do you guys think?
"Oh, and Robin brought up a good point about what the words meant, so I went and looked it up and let me show you the dance again and this time, I'll sing it in English, hoping that everyone would (naturally!) join right in:
"Greatly admired is Her Majesty
The Cheifess of Hawai'i
Lili'ulani, Ruler of the Land,
The divine Wohi ruler to the throne
The arches of the rainbows
Beams of color unequaled
Creations of love
Passing along within gentle rains
Look to the brightness of day
From the vastness of Hawai'i to Kaua'i
Kalakaua is his name
A flower that never fades in the sun
It blooms on the summit
On the mountain, Mauna Kea
Burning bright at Kilauea
Illuminating Wahinekapu
Upon the heights of Uwekahuna
Is the sacred cliff of Ka'auea
Come forth, king of bird-catchers
Adorned with the plumage of the mamo
He is the beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is his name
Kalakaua is his name
A flower that never fades in the sun
It blooms on the summit
On the mountain, Mauna Kea
Burning bright at Kilauea
Illuminating Wahinekapu
Upon the heights of Uwekahuna

Greatly admired is Her Majesty
The Cheifess of Hawai'i
Lili'ulani, Ruler of the Land,
The divine Wohi ruler to the throne
Come forth, king of bird-catchers
Adorned with the plumage of the mamo
He is the beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is his name."
"Much prettier in Hawaiian, I think!" Ariel finished with a smile. "So let's get to work. It looks so effortless on that show, putting together all this singing and dancing but...well, okay, maybe it is."
Things seemed to just fall into place like that for Ariel, too.
