Three icons in one day. I don't deserve my friends, honestly. Especially when you consider the shit I put her through to get this icon.

Lemme explain. There's plenty of icons with lilo doing the hula, but all of them seem to be from the end of the movie, with stitch. I wanted one without stitch. And most nonsilly lilo and stitch icons say something about "ohana", or maybe "happiness". It's nice, and some of them are quite good, but I wanted something I hadn't seen before. At all.

I wanted the lyrics.

Then, after I decided I wanted the lyrics, I realized... I can get them in English! Do you know how many characters the English and Hawaiian are combined, even once I edited the english to take up less space*? A lot, that's how many. I'm lucky she didn't throw a fit when I told her what I wanted, because even I can see that getting a good icon out of so many characters is hard.

But she did it. I don't deserve my friends. Really.


Oh, and if the translation of the Hawaiian is incorrect, don't tell me. For my convenience, I decided to assume a line by line translation, and I know there's a good chance that was a mistake. I'm hoping not enough people speak Hawaiian to know better.

*Instead of the flower that doesn't wither in the sun, I settled for the bloom doesn't die in the sun. Not as poetic, but at least it fits
