Mauna Loa (Englisch Version)

[(Long Instrumental Intro – wind, drums, distant lava]

(Verse)
Above the clouds the giant rests,
asleep beneath a green-leafed gown.
Yet deep at heart the lava glows,
a fire blossomed through the eons.
The earth is breathing, soft and slow,
its pulse beats in the ocean’s bones.

(Pre-Chorus)
A breath of smoke, a spark takes flame,
the wind retells what few have known.
And when the ground begins to sing,
we know each ending starts again.

(Chorus)
Mauna Loa — Fire of the Island,
your breath dances in the winds of time.
From your embers life returns,
where ashes fall, eternity climbs.
Fire of the Island — burn, Mauna Loa,
you heart of stone in the tropic wind.

(Verse)
In night’s soft light, the land awakes,
a river, watching, made of fire.
The people whisper out your name,
in all their songs, in all your flames.
You take, you give, yet still remain —
the world may fade, but you endure.

(Pre-Chorus)
A breath of smoke, a spark takes flame,
the wind retells what few have known.
We hear your song within the stone,
it runs through all the ancient veins.

(Chorus)
Mauna Loa — Fire of the Island,
your breath dances in the winds of time.
From your embers life returns,
where ashes fall, eternity climbs.
Fire of the Island — burn, Mauna Loa,
you heart of stone in the tropic wind.

[Percussion Break — 8/16 bars, taikos & deep bass]
… ! … ! … ! … !  [rising pulse, brief pan-flute call]

(Verse)
When fire meets the sea, night turns to day,
black sand is born — so still, so slight.
The shoreline steams, the rain comes down,
and from the glow a world grows new.
We stand with open, steady hands,
and watch time end in circling bands.

(Pre-Chorus)
One step, one sound — the earth will speak;
to keep is this: do not forget.
Who walks with care will truly hear
how life can rise from lava’s dew.

[Instrumental Interlude — pan flute & guitars, distant choir]
… ! … ! … !  [melodic motif, warm pad]

[Bridge — spiritual]
Pele dances in the crimson light,
her song goes threading through the stone.
The gods keep watch, so mild, so true —
their breath blows on from year to year.

[Build — 8 bars, drums & choir rising]
… ! … ! … ! … !  [heartbeat groove, voices lift]

(Final Chorus)
Mauna Loa — Fire of the Island,
your heart beats loud in earth’s own tone.
You burn and bring the life returning,
like sun and rain and stone and flow.
Fire of the Island — burn, Mauna Loa,
until the very sky bows down.

[Coda — call & response, soft choir]
Fire of the Island — Mauna Loa.
Breath of the earth — Mauna Loa.
Life from the ashes — Mauna Loa.
We carry you — Mauna Loa.

[Outro — wind, rain, birds]
The wind draws smoke into the morning light,
the island breathes — it won’t forget.
