Coqui sing V2

A song grows when it crosses an ocean. My favorite part about this video is when the Gulls Enthusiastically take on the role of the Moa- rooster. I wish you could see how they congratulated each other on nailing their cue. You can’t script that kind of magic and it’s rare to capture it. I was trying to make friends with the crows. But the gulls were listening.

Coqui coqui sing to me
you lead the crickets and the cane toads effortlessly
there's thunder rollin out on the sea
but the stars rain down on Hawaii
Wailele roars at the laughing stream
and the coqui sings to me

Moa calls the coming day
shots ring out wild ili'o bay
if these hills could talk I wonder what they's say
would they welcome me to stay
Io shrieks and Pueo breathes
and the coqui sings to me

Nene sighs beneith Pele's trees
Eucalyptus groans in the whispering breeze
Wahine Pupule shouting please
she don't care if the haole sees
mosquitos whine and pua'a screams
but the coqui, sings to me

coqui coqui sing to me
you lead the crickets and the cane toads effortlessly
there's thunder rollin out on the sea
but Hilo grins down on Hawaii
Wailele roars at the laughing stream
and the coqui sings to me

Wailele Roars at the laughing stream
coqui sings to me
