Practice the Hawaiian Mantra of The Week
Our Hawai’ian mantra of the week is, again: “I love my life.” We’re going to practice so you can memorize it because it’s so important.
The way you say that is, “Aloha wau ko’u ola”
AH-LOW-HA WOW KO-OOH OH-LA
Aloha means “love.”
Wau means “I”
Aloha wau, means “I love.”
Say that with me, Aloha wau
Let’s try that, Aloha wau—
KO-OO means “my.”
Say that with me, Ko-ooh
Ola means “life.”
Say that with me, ola.
Ko’u ola means “my life.”
The sign for “love” is made by crossing both hands over the middle of your chest.
“my life” Ko’u ola
How you sign that is put your hand on your chest. [see video]
And you make little guns with your hands. Point them down towards each other in front of your chest and then turn them up to point at each other. [see video]
Let’s do the whole thing.
Aloha wau ko’u ola
I love my life!
