E Hô Mai ! Begin every learning experience, including learning hula or its words, by invoking Help and Guidance: E hô mai i ka `ike, mai luna mai e, Grant me the knowledge from above, I nâ mea huna no`eau o nâ `ôlelo e, In the elusive wisdom of the words. E hô mai, e hô mai, e hô mai e. Grant me, grant me, grant me. ________________________ (This is chanted 3 times.) As appropriate, substitute nâ mele (the songs) or nâ hula (the dances) for nâ `ôlelo (the words). Mahalo â nui to Puakea Nogelmeierfor generously granting us the learning of this chant. |
