O pililua oe, o helelua i Ewa, 1.

O ka hele oe a ka’u lani,

O kaapikikolo olua ia lua mea—

Omeamea wale ia iho i ke kula e,

Lo! there was the sacred drum— Nolaila ka! o Kahapuulono, o Kapaikaualulu—

O ka pahu i loko o Kekeleaiku.

O Hiolani oe, o ka pueo kani kaua

No Halaulani i Hanapouli,

No ka welu hau i ke kai, i Kupahu, 10.

There was Kalohai. Nolaila ka o Kalohai.

O Puanakau ka malama;

The month of Hikilei is quite certain. O ka malama o Hikilei akaka lea,

O Hionalele, o Kamaka, o Kemilia,

They two borne upon the ocean, Elua laua i ka moana e,

Oia kai ke awalau o Puuloa,

Iluna o Waakaiolohia lani.

E i! lau hoe ia ana ka lani,

Oia kai luna i ka pola waa e. 20.

Kupu maikai Leahi i ka malie;

It is separated, it is cut asunder. Iaea e ke kai, a moku okoa.

The people on the canoes thought a sea lay between, Kuhi ka waa holo, he kai ko waena,

But there was no sea; it was deceiving, Aole ka he kai; he hoopunipuni,

There was a joining indeed upland of Huewa. 25. He pili ka no uka o Huewa. 25.

Ua ehu wale i ka la o Makalii

Is the brown grass of Mauuenaena, Ke oho kukai o Mauuenaena,

I enaena i ke kai o Kalehuawehe

I na kulana heenalu i Aiohi.

Aloha! na hoa o ka nalu mua kau, 30.

E ka auwae ele lua, i ele ka maka;

O ka makamaka ia o ke kapu o ke ’lii.

He pua ka lani, he pua laha ole nei no na moku. 45.

He kamahao ka lani na Oahu,

I walea ka lani i Kona, i ka lulu—

I ka pohu wale o ka ua waahia,

Beating down the grass. Ke halii maila i ke pili.

Akaaka ke kupa, haki na nalu 50.

I na huakai o Kauahui.

I hui ia paha oe e moe mai la

A manawaohua ka makani, pahola iho la Kaunulau.

E kau ae i ka haka weloula lani!

Ua ike paha oe, e ka ua, e ka la!

This is the chief who lies here, Ea ke lani e moe nei.

E loloaikulani wale ana, aohe kapa—

Sleeping in the rain of the winter. 65. E moe wale ana i ka ua o hooilo. 65.

E ka lani nui maka hakuma i ka lani.

Powerful is the chief that disregards the kapu Makolukalanimakahakumaikekapu

O ke kahiwa o Lono, ka hakuma lani.

The chief has gone, a soul without a body; Ua hele uhane ka lani, aohe kino;

Ua uhane ololi wale ka lani. 70.

The voice of the spirit calls to his companion in sleep, Alapai; Ua hanehane ka leo, ke hea i kona hoa moe o Alapai;

O Kepookukahauhanaokama.

He kama la hoi ia, he kamalei,

O kona hoa moe no ka ia, o ka pali welau loloa o Koolau.

No Koolau hoi kekahi aloha, 75.

E ka huakai malo lauki,

Ke lu la i ka muo o ka lehua

I ui wale ae ia oe, e Kalauli. 80.

Kuu hoike, kuu hoikeike o ka nahele,

My guide in the deep ravines, Kuu alakai o ka pali loa e.

Akahi o nohoia a hala aku la.

Kai noa ua hala kuu lani. 85.

The koa-canoe bore him hence— Ua lawe la koa waa—

Ua ahai la o Mahuka i ke ola, ola la paha.

O ke aha la ka hala a ke kanaka

I hana ino ai ua kai la?

The sea that bears away the ako, and the ama! 90. O ke kai lawe i ako, lawe ama e! 90.

Waa ua umauma, ke ala e hiki ai;

Pae maeele i ke ka honua e.

Kuu ka luhi, aloha ia oe.

The eyes of his friend were fixed upon him. Kau mai ana ka maka hoaloha.

E kuu kaai kapu au o Liloa e, 95.

O ke kaai mawaho, o Umi he ’lii,

That is the offence for which his property was taken. O ka hala ia kui papa mokumoku i ke au

Noho i ke kai, kamaaina aku la ka moana e; o ke koa-i-a-.

O Lonokaeho lae wakawaka.

The red kapas of the two chiefs, 100. O na kapa ula o na lani a elua e, 100.

Paiha oukou i ke ala e Apua,

O ko kaina ala liu ka la o Waianae.

Wehe ke kaiaulu i ke oho o ka niu,

Grateful for warmth is the house, Aloha ka hale i ka mehana e,

Chilled by the mountain breeze, sleeping in the cold— Hai i ke hau, moe i ke anu—

I ka makani anu he waikaloa e.

Loa ke ala ke hele ia;

Hele hewa i ka nahele o Halemano, 110.

In the uplands of Wahiawa, far inland I ka uka o Wahiawa, i ka uka lilo e

Where dwelt the clouds, there resting, Noho i ka ao, noho ihola e,

Residing in quietness. Nanea ka noho ana.

The wind whispers and gathers the clouds together— Ia kuololo ololo pua i ka makani ke ao—

Ololo, ua nopa ke kahawai. Aloha ka wai! 115.

The cold water of the wilderness you two frequented, A olua e hele’i i ka wai anu o ka nahele,

[Yea,] the mountain climbers are shivering with the cold. Ua li wale i ke koekoe ka huakai hele pii mauna e.

NOTES ON A LAMENTATION FOR KAHAHANA.

[These notes on the Kahahana Mele are based largely upon those of Judge Andrews, found with the original MS. in his study thereof for its translation, and though more applicable to the original version than the translation, they nevertheless throw much light on ancient Hawaiian thought and practice. It may seem presumptuous to attempt the alteration of so eminent a scholar’s work, and is, in some parts, done with reluctance, yet a careful examination called for revision in places to modify admitted obscurities in his notes, which would doubtless have been done by himself had he prepared it for publication.—Ed.].
