Cette chanson s'inspire de la joie, la gentillesse et la tranquilité qui existe à Hawaï.
Elle met en scène des gens ordinaires, qui connaissent chaque jour les difficultés de la vie, leur parle d'espoir et les appelle au changement.
Les deux mots revenant sans cesse dans le refrain sont Aloha, signifiant bienvenue, et Da Shaka, le geste de la main traditionnel que font les Hawaïens pour se dire "cool, tout va bien, pas de problème".
Dansez avec moi pour faire vibrer les bonnes ondes et l'esprit de Aloha!
Aloha : vous allez adorer danser et chanter ce reggae aux couleurs de l'été...
La chorégraphie est simple : fermez le poing, tendez le pouce et l'auriculaire (le petit doigt), puis, secouez...

Paroles :
Poor sweet little black girl,
working in dirty bars,
bordering Waikiki.
You're wasting your days and nights,
just to get a dinner,
working like a zombie.
Why do you
wear this gross bikini?
Are you sure
you're where you have to be?
You dream of changing your life,
why not meet a nice guy,
then you would be happy.
You’re not afraid of working,
you just want a nice job,
not fall into slavery.
Will you be
able to break your chains?
Come on girl,
it's time to fix all that.
Keep smiling
throw da shaka
be happy
Sing Aloha
Aloha
Da Shaka

Aloha
Your brother is not better,
he is part of a gang,
roaming in Molokai.
Your Mother knows that one day,
police will come to tell
her, he has shot someone.
Or maybe,
it is he who will die.
In this hell,
he will have no way out.
You, you would like to help him,
take him out of this trap,
and save him from himself.
You want him to give up arms,
his friends, drugs and violence,
just before it's too late.
Are you strong
enough to change all that?
Come on girl,
it's time to fix all that.
Keep smiling
throw da shaka
be happy
Sing Aloha
Aloha

Keep smiling
throw da shaka
be happy
Sing Aloha
