A Song for Lahainaluna. You are Lahainaluna, The parent of the educated, You were organized with wisdom. And thy works therefore are indeed good. You are the foremost in Hawaii here, 5. You are in an elevated place, Your several buildings also are always clean. Your fence and roads are good. You are, Lahainaluna, The father of the orphans, 10. A friend of the friendless, A light to shine in the dark place, A guide for the unknown places. You provide the food for famine lands. You are, Lahainaluna, 15. You are a sharp two-edged sword, Separating the darkness Of all these islands. Alas, O Lahainaluna, You are filled with wisdom, 20. You have the knowledge and the skill. You are Lahainaluna, the one I love, You are also desired By all the well educated people. April, 1841. He Mele no Lahainaluna.

A Song. BY KAMAKEA. Beautiful Lahainaluna, the great school Where students are mingling, And the red dust is blown By the fickle upland wind, And the cold dews of the dawn from above 5. Cried out, asking, who were the teachers? Andrews and Clark were the teachers. Beautiful Lahainaluna the great school At the gathering of the students In the cool sea-breeze 10. And the hot sun glittering at noon. Students look well dressed in their best In their uniform of the seminary As they are parading about. A day for the students 15. [Was] the first Monday of the week, Friday was composition day, Thursday and Friday were trial days. My thoughts go back to Lahainaluna. To the enlightening flowers of the mind. 20. Wisdom reverts to Lahainaluna, The receptacle where teachers were stationed. Beautiful Lahainaluna the seminary. The white dining halls, And the glistening of the windows 25. At the rising sun from Pa’upa’u, And the clouds facing the windows. Beautiful are those red clouds, At the parting of the rain was seen Lahainaluna nestled in the pili grass, 30. Whitening the plain of Lele, Glorying over lower Lahaina. The thought was lost, [It] almost returned to America, The place whence it came. 35. The sea is before your eyes. The bell rings early in the morning, At the breaking of the dawn of day. Awake, move, and go to devotion. The bell rang, the teacher entered, 40. After devotion a few minutes of rest. The bell rang again, breakfast was ready. Kamakau was weeping, Having the routine tasks, Resting and praying. 45. After breakfast, time for work, Working with our hands for food. April, 1839. He Mele. NA KAMAKEA. Nani Lahainaluna, i ke kulanui I ka hio a na kamalii, I ka hao mai a ka lepo ula I ka makani lauwili mauka mai. I ka hau anu o ka wanaao mauka mai 5. E uo e ninau, owai na Kumu?

A Song of Lahainaluna. BY KIAIKAI. Beautiful art thou Lahainaluna, The trees that are grown on good soil; Grown and covered by thy leaves. Under thy shade everyone rests, Shading the places that were not shaded; 5. Darkening where nothing green was seen. Planted on uncultivated soil, That is why we call you a tree, Sheltering these islands. Thou art standing alone on this barren hill, 10. And this place was shaded by you, You are famous for your shade And loved also by the lands. For you were grown in the dark. The people of that place have raised you; 15. They have fed you With the things to develop you, Your leaves have grown and are beautiful, You must be stronger than all the plants. March, 1839. Kahi Mele ia Lahainaluna. NA KIAIKAI. Nani no oe e Lahainaluna, Ka ka laau i ulu ma kahi lepo maikai; Ulu a maikai kou mau lau. Malalo o kou malu na mea a pau. Ua hoomalu aku la oe ma kahi malu ole; 5. Hoouliuli aku la ma kahi uliuli ole. Kanu ia ’ku la oe ma kahi i kanu ole ia; Nolaila hoi kapa ia aku oe he laau, E hoomalumalu ana i keia paeaina. Ku iho la oe ma keia kula panoa, 10. A ua malu keia pae wahi ia oe, Kaulana aku la oe no kou malu, Ua aloha ia hoi ia e na aina, No kou ulu ana iloko o ka pouli, Na ko laila poe i hoala ia oe; 15. Hanai mai la lakou ia oe Me na mea e ulu ai oe, Ua ulu a maikai kou mau lau, E ikaika oe mamua o na mea ulu a pau.

Lahainaluna Seminary. BY PAALUA. Of the Seminary seeking knowledge, It seeks to multiply, to subtract, to divide. Located there on the grassy plain of Lele [Is] the reflection of its glass windows. The misty rain is falling on the Puopelu plain, 5. The eyes of the people of Lahaina are attracted [And] they inquire: What is that object of Lahainaluna That is glittering on the plain of Puopelu? It is the first time this wondrous thing of Lahainaluna is seen. 10. Turn, look at the wondrous object of Lahainaluna Shining and glittering forth. Go up and look, and see the beauty of Lahainaluna, You will see the Seminary building and the wondrous things Where the learned people reside, 15. [And] will see the dormitory of the students. March 8, 1839. Kulanui Lahainaluna. NA PAALUA. O ke Kulanui imi akamai, Nana i imi ka hoonui, ka hoolawe, ka puunaue, Ke noho mai la i ke kulapili o Lele Ka hulalilali a na pukaaniani. Ke kewai la e kahe ana i ke kula o Puopelu, 5. Kaha ka maka o ke kanaka o Lahaina Ninau ae la; He aha la kela mea o Lahainaluna Ke hulali mai la i ke kula o Puopelu? Akahi no a ikeia keia mea kupanaha o Lahainaluna, 10. E huli, e nana i ka mea kupanaha o Lahainaluna Ke alohi anapa mai la.

A Lamentation. BY KAAUEPAA. Affection, Affection, my companion, My companion in the cold and the chill; My companion in the heat of the day; My companion of childhood; 5. My companion from the floating land; Love, my companion, weep. My companion of uninhabited region; My companion seeking things mysterious, Seeking American people of education; 10. Brought hither from foreign lands. Love to you, O my companion; My companion peopling the uninhabited region. Beautiful are the proud flowers, Beautiful are the shade grown flowers. 15. When well opened The patch owner rejoices In his flowers here. July 13, 1840. He Uwe Aloha. NA KAAUEPAA. Aloha, Aloha ku’u hoa, Ku’u hoa i ke anu a ke koekoe, Ku’u hoa i ka wela o ka la, Ku’u hoa pili kamalii, 5. Ku’u hoa mai na aina lewa, Aloha ku’u hoa u.

Nani na pua hoomahie, Nani na pua ulu malu, 15. I mohala maikai ai Olioli ka mea kihapai I kana mau pua nei.

Lunalilo. Moving, the heavens fell by the rolling of Kieleula, By the sweet voiced lunihini in the woods. By right the chief could not say anything From within Hinawaikolii. The central precious tax of the upper Haea 5. To raise up red Malani so as to be heard. He was from Kalanipulei; As the chief stood forth, nine prostrated, Divided through the prostration they escaped this, The eyes reverted not on seeing clearly, 10. I went on, tired of him. Here you are. Kona was lazy for the sun was hot, Huehue was enjoying the gentle land breeze, Not wearied by the hand of Hikuhia. 15. The standing staff of Mailehahei Shielding only those having confidence. What are you doing there, Keawaawa? You came back by the aalii leaf road, Kamakuhi smelling fragrant flowers of Kapuulena. 20. Let us look, he is here; He was meek, gentle was his living In receiving these good things, sitting quietly. Here you are. Lunalilo. Naue hina ka lani na ke kaa Kieleula, Na ka lunihini leo lea i ka nahele. Na ka pololei kani kua ole na ’lii. Mailoko mai o Hinawaikolii. Ka onohi palalahiwa i ka uka Haea 5. Ka ea Malani ula i kau ka lohelohe, Na Kalanipulei ia nei. Na ka lani ke ku mai eiwa ka moe. Moku loko i ka moe a ua ola onei Hoihoi ole ka maka ke ike aku, 10. Hele hoi au a molowa iaia, Eia la—oe. Molowa Kona ua wela i ka la, O Huehue kai apo’a e ke kehau, Kaumaha ole i na lima o Hikuhia. 15. Ke kalele ku a Mailehahei Hilinai wale iho no i ka hilinai. Heaha kau e Kaawaawa o laila? E hoi mai oe i ke ala lau alii, Kamakuhi hanu pua ala o Kapuulena. 20. E nana e kakou, eia ianei, Ua akahai, ua kakuu mai ka noho. I ka hiki o nei mea maikai he noho malie, Eia la—oe.

Beautiful Land of Hawaii. BY NUUANU. You are pleasant toward strangers; You are kind and loving, Your nights have no rain, it is calm also, A safe refuge art thou for ships; You give them rest in their troubles. 5. Hawaii has gained a victory, yet only an island, Bare above, nothing growing, Jehovah caused things to grow, He produced the growing plants. Beautiful and lovely are the isles, 10. He distributes benefits; The soil is rich; Every plant is growing well, The taro, the potato, the yam, Whereby hunger is appeased. 15. The water-melon and the cane are good, They are desirable products; The cotton is good, It brings riches to men, Hope for Hawaii’s future. 20. Have a mind to go there, The people are kind, not angry, It is finished to crumbling. September, 1839. Nani na Aina o Hawaii. NA NUUANU. He oluolu kou i na malihini; He lokomaikai me ke aloha, Aole ou po ua, ua noho malie hoi, He puuhonua maikai oe no na moku; Ia oe no e maha, lakou pilikia. 5. Ua ea Hawaii he moku wale no, Olohelohe ko luna, aohe mea kupu. Na Iehova i hoopuka mai, Nana hoi i hana i na mea ulu. Nani he maikai ka aina, 10. Ua hookupu maikai mai oia; He momona ka lepo; He kupu maikai na mea kanu, He kalo, ka uwala, ka uhi, He mea ia e maona ai. 15. He maikai ka ipu, ke ko, He mau waiwai maikai ia, He maikai ka pulupulu, Ko ke kanaka pomaikai ia, Lana ka manao ia Hawaii. 20. Manao e holo ilaila, He oluolu na kanaka, aole huhu, Ua pau a elu.

Song Book of Kalaikuaiwa. IN HEAVEN IS POLOULA. BY KALAI OF KONA. There in heaven is Poloula, the chief star, The twinkling star, Fluttering in the cross of the sky. Keawe and Kalanikauleleiaiwi, The line of chiefs from out of the East, 5. The banana field that stood in the time of Pukea, The small parent who radiates Kahualoa. Kalanikupuapa the high chief, the ancestor, Springing forth the joy and desire To seize the hand, confirming the voice 10. That this is my lehua field. Here you are. There in Mana [is] the shadow, the mirage, Searching for Kalama Kopii, Found at the fifth of Ainaike, 15. A work of the residents of Limaloa, Erecting houses at Papiohuli. The house of the thick cloud at Kaunalewa was finished, The ridge bonnetted by Kalauamaihiki. So you have come over here, 20. I have gone to seek food For our house warming, Here you are. Buke Mele na Kalaikuaiwa. KA LANI POLOULA. NA KALAI O KONA. Aia i ka lani Poloula, ka hoku alii, Ka hoku maka imoimo, I hulili ma ka pea o ka lani. O Keawe o Kalanikauleleiaiwi, Ka lalani alii puka mai ma ka hikina, 5. Ka e’a maia i ku i ka wa o Pukea, O ka iki makua nana e kaa Kahualoa, O Kalanikupuapa i ka laninui, ke kupuna, Kupu mai nei ka olioli me ka makemake E lalau ka lima e hooko i ka leo 10. O ka’u kula lehua noia, Eia la oe. Aia i Mana ke aka! ka wai liula. E imi ana ia Kalama Kopii, Loaa i ka hapa lima o Ainaike, 15. He hana ka ke kamaaina o Limaloa. E kukulu kauhale ana i Papiohuli, Paa ka hale a ka naulu i Kaunalewa, Ke kaupaku ia la e Kalauamaihiki. Ua hiki mai ka oe ianei, 20. Ua halaau i ka imi mea ai I mea komo no ka hale o kana, Eia la—oe.

Hakaleleponi. The bitter gourd had protection of chiefly kapu, The fragrant shrub of the stream, The chief’s pillar it was of Kaka’e. A retinue, gathered compassionately for the Kakaalaneo, A water-course dam for the noisy place. 5. There was the wonderful chief’s residence For the kapued stream of Kamakaalaneo. The house was silent and empty, no people; The bed was not used, Perhaps onward in the small room, 10. Here you are. The heavens turned back, the chief turned front, Turned from Keaka the chief’s tree, The ancestral ohia from the woods, The mamaka sprouting field of Piilani, 15. Plucked [by] the resident the leaves call. The overturned leaf of the kapu; Kapu of Kauwaunui, the flute. Go [thou] according to the urging of the desire; The mind leading the body, 20. But you would be tired of the love, Here you are. Here am I, the kuahine rain, Raining in the woods of Kaau, Joining friendly the dews of Keehu, 25. The dew drops of the misty cloud, Dripping to flood, floating the nene blossoms, For the teasing kupukupu in the Waikoloa, Working craftily on the plain of Kanoenoe, Deceiving the native born resident of that place; 30. The many above Kokoloa. When you called the meal was finished, You were famished with hunger, You had better have some salt, It is the best there is. 35. Here you are. Hakaleleponi. O ke kamanomano alii kapu ka uhi, Ka aala makahinu o ke kahawai, Ka pela ’lii noia a Kaka’e. He kini haehae ahu no ke Kakaalaneo, He pani mano wai no ka halulu kahi, 5. Nolaila mai ka noho kupanaha ’lii, No ke kahawai kapu o Kamakaalaneo. He neoneo wale no ka hale, aohe kanaka. Waiho wale iho no kahi moe, Eia ’ku paha i na rumi liilii, 10. Eia la—oe. Kaakua ka lani, kaa alo ke ’lii, Kaa mai Keaka ka laau alii, Ka ohia kumakua mai i ka wao. Ka hoowaa ulu o mamaka o Piilani, 15. Kapaipai ke kupa oha ka lau; Ka lau kahulihuli’a o ke kapu, Kapu a Kauwaunui ka ohe. O hele i ke koi a ka makemake; Ke kono a ka manao i ke kino, 20. O oe no nae ke luhi ana i ke aloha, Eia la—oe. Eia ’u e ka ua kuahine, E ua nei i ka nahele o Kaau, Au hoolaua o Keehu wai kehau, 25. Ka huna wai kehau a ke kiowao, I kulu kio, halana i ka pua o ka nene, Ne ke kupukupu hone i ka Waikoloa, Hana maalea i ke kula o Kanoenoe, I puni ke kupa, ke kamaaina o laila; 30. Ke kini mauka o Kokoloa. Ea mai nei oe ua pau ka ai ana, Oki loa oe i ka pololi, E aho no ka pu paakai a’e, He ma’u noia, 35. Eia ’la—oe.

Kaiahua. Fly above the relentless path of the wind, Sickened by [the] head rain of Ikuwa, Treading the borders of Kaawela, At the eyeball of Manohina at Makalii, The women above Nuumealani, 5. At the heaven cross of Kuhana heaven In the flowering thicket of Laumalahea That called me to you in your day [of] rejoicing. If you got angry your chin was firm; Becoming indignant your mouth closed, 10. Extended the long lizard tongue. This man was displeased with you. What kind is it? the thing is rubbish, Here you are. Perhaps scattered 15. There at Kaukini [is] the bird-fearing fire, A fire bewildering birds for Pokahi That were snared above Kaawana. A fish-net it is of Kamaino, A bag (of Hasai) gathered fog from the mist. 20. The net is spread in the smoke, The fish is seized by hand of Puawalii, A chief whose love is a curiosity to us, An awa passer, an accuser, A river-mouthed lobster for him and I. 25. Here you are. Kaiahua. Lele iluna ke ala ino a ka makani, Hooliliha i poo ua o Ikuwa, Hehi hele i ka lihilihi o Kaawela, I ka onohi o Manohina a Makalii, O na wahine iluna o Nuumealani, 5. I ka pea lani o lani Kuhana, I ka uluwehiwehi lau pua o Laumalahea, I hea mai oe ia’u i ko la lealea. (Huhu iho oe ku ko nuku), A hiki mai ka ukiuki paa ko waha, 10. (Hemo ke lelo loa o Pelo), Wahawaha keia kanaka ia oe, (Heaha ke ano, he opala ia mea), Eia la—oe. (Puehu paha). 15. Aia i Kaukini ke ahi kanai manu, He ahi kanalio manu no Pokahi Ke hoohei ’la i luna o Kaawana, He upena mahae ia na Kamaino, He eke (a Hasai) hului ohu na ka noe. 20. Ke kuu ’la i ka upena o ka uwahi, Hei ka ia lauahi lima o Puawalii. He alii ke aloha he milimili na kakou, He a’e awa he pii poo, He ula ai nuku na maua me ia nei. 25. Eia la—oe.

Keohokalole. BY MAKUE. The chief’s girdle is sacred to a chief. Liloa was girded with the girdle of great power, The girdle that compassed Umi the chief. Chiefs outspread to ten descendants; Descendants set aside for Kanikawi 5. Whose were the four burning ancestors. A sacred chief’s countenance had Kauhi, governor of Kama. You are from Kamalua, the love discerning man. Because he had many friends he went forward, He went forward and backward. 10. Here you are. Kawaikini resembled Waialeale, Resembled and agreed at Maunalima, Boasting of the fine lehua buds, Wishing perhaps to hear Hauailiki 15. Regarding the work of Kukalakamanu. I have affection for Aipo, A longing for a sight of Kahelekua. The hunger troubles of Koianana Measure it, place its full length, 20. Covering the width and breadth To completely satisfy your desire. Here you are. Keohokalole. NA MAKUE. O ke Kaailani kapu na he ’lii, Kaa mai Liloa ke kaa i ulu nui, O ke kaai mawaho o Umi ke ’lii. Na ’lii lau manamana i umi ka pua; He mau pua wae ia no Kanikawi, 5. Nona na kupuna ahi eha. He maka lani kapu no Kauhi aimoku a Kama. Mai Kamalua oe ’ke aloha i ke kanaka, I na ia na la he hoa lehulehu He hele imua, hoi ana i hope, 10. Eia la—oe. Hookohu Kawaikini i Waialeale. Ua hookohukohu i Maunalima, Ke kaena ’la i ka lehua maka noe, E ake paha e lohe Hauailiki 15. I ka hana wale a Kukalakamanu. He aloha ko’u ia Aipo, O ka ike wale aku ia Kahelekua. Ka haiki pilikia o Koianana Anana ia kau i pau ka loa, 20. I pau ka laula me ke akea Pau pono iho ’la no kou makemake, Eia la—oe.

Moeholua. The chief is the chosen warrior, skin-striped by the kapu, The kapu of Kukona of Ahukinioloa, [The] sacred road from Kahiki Comes [to] the chief, the eatable rough fish skin. Kaulua-heavenly-altar-sacrifice, the chief. 5. The fish of the fish-pond of Kinilau That were caught by the hook of Manaiakalani Do not praise the men. The one who desired The maile as a bed room for the auhau. 10. The resident is signaling at the fire-place; The all-absorbing altar of the fire at Makuaiki, Seeking the swelling Pueo, the decoration. Odorous mokihana, the fragrant plant of Makana With my companion Kaana at Waialoha. 15. There is at Honopu, Waikanaka, A man to love should you see [him], A companion for the lonely place, The close companion who is residing here. Here you are. 20. Moeholua. O ka lani ke koa ili ohiili onionio i ke kapu, Ke kapu o Kukona o Ahukinioloa, Alalaa mai Kahiki Hiki ka lani ka ia ili kalakala ili ai. O Kaulualelemohailani ke ’lii, 5. Na ia o ka pa ia a Kinilau, I hoolou ai i ka makau o Manaiakalani. Mai hoolanilani i ke kanaka, Ka mea nana i makemake He lumi moe ka maile no ka auhau. 10. Ke kuehu mai ’la ke kupa i ka momoku; Ka lele makawalu a ke ahi i Makuaiki, E imi ana i ka liko Pueo, ke hei, Noenoe mokihana ka ihu anu lauae o Makana Me o’u hoa Kaana i Waialoha. 15. Aia la i Honopu i Waikanaka, He kanaka ke aloha i ike oe, He kokoolua no kahi mehameha, O ke hoa pili no ia e noho nei, Eia la—oe. 20.

Kanaina. The kaona flower befogs the sky, Hanging in the smoke-house of Kanaloa Kuaana. The red bird with two sharp defenses, Struck by the spurs of Makakaualii, The red makoko octopus in the deep sea. 5. Bones of Maka hung out in the rain. The weapon that excelled in length Was Kane of the Iwilani rain, Like the great heavens was the love. The beating of the heart pained, 10. The twisting hurt across the man’s back, Here you are. Nuuanu is turned to the wind; The hands have seized the kiowao rain Contending with Leleaanae. 15. Waipuhia was well pleased, The haao rain resounded with laughter; [The] kukui consorted with the ahihi; With the kamakahala wreath of Malailua. I am exceedingly ashamed of you 20. By your going around taking my name When I flew by as a runner. Here you are. Kanaina. Ka pua kaaona maka uwahi ka lani, I kau i ka hale uwahi o Kanaloa Kuaana. O ka moa ulahiwa i paku lua ka oi, I ku i ke kakala o Makakaualii, O ka hee makoko ula i ke kai eleele. 5. O iwi kau i ka ua, a Maka, O ka hia i pakela ka loa O Kane i ka ua Iwilani, Me he lani nui la ke aloha. Ke kuikui i ka houpu a eha. 10. Eha ka hilo ka pea kua o ke kanaka, Eia ’la—oe. O Nuuanu ua huli i ka makani; Ua lalau na lima o ka ua kiowao. E aumeume ana me Leleaanae 15. Ua komo ka lealea ia Waipuhia, Ke kani nei ka aka a ka ua haao; Kukui haele me ka ahihi; Me ke kamakahala lei o Malailua. He lua ole kuu hilahila ia oe 20. I ko lawe hele i ko’u inoa Pulelo ana ’u me he wahi kukini ’la, Eia la—oe.

Love Chants. Kalolou is another chief who stands visible, A cudgel is the quivering fish-line of Kanaloa; A gasping for breath of Kane. The contending forehead that day; Kanehoalani of Kauahoa, 5. My companion which accompanied Kihi of Kauahoa was he, Not an assistant; you are the one who seeks knowledge. With you as companion the tears would flow, Shortened is the sleep for spiritual possession. He is indeed sleeping, 10. Careless and to no purpose, Just listening here and there And retaining much that is worthless. Love is what he should keep, To rejoice should he touch flesh; 15. A dazzling leaf, a concealed veil of his; A skin which strikingly resembled Mano’s. It is Mano of the sacred awa-root, The sacred hill, to be appeased when the kapu is properly observed. Where is the station that will give him peace? 20. The bosom only is satisfied by union, With its being touched by man And in the confusion takes on the color of his skin. Ruddy is the war crier on the day of battle, The skin is [like] that of Kama; 25. A countenance of a most sacred child-chief, a wonderful chief. Hard indeed is its sacredness when it is used, Deprived of the seizure of the night, is destitute; Thou art gone, the true sun. When the excitement arrived I fell with thee, 30. We fought and came near rebelling, We came near fighting on your account, But you are not behind me, Yet I am unduly excited for your love. A lover is the large headed cloud on the plain of Kema, It is hanging above Kamahualele, Simply appearing hitherward Is the spirit of my lover. I thought it was your voice making reply; 5. It came to me wet and weak with flowers in its hand. Return, look after me, lest you regret And say it is for him to look after his own. How I love the call of the young geese, It cried on account of the cold as it crept along; 10. It is thoroughly wet with the cold of the dew. It is simply waving from below the sea, And increasing is the kookoolauwahine (wind), My companion in the calm of Puna, Of the plain of Kahunanahai; 15. A lover in the house—the long house, From the pili flower-treading rain of waahila. Makahuna is ashamed, I hid it so as to be secure, But my tears revealed it and it became known. 20. We are known, my love, The love was known without any voice, Yet I longed for your coming; On your coming a house is here, Let us enter where it is warm. 25. The expansion of the smoke; When it smokes there are birds, if it’s bird smoke, This is a night for smoking birds on Kaukini. The multitude of fowlers of Pokahi With nets without hoops by Puawa’lii. 5. A chief is the bird-fire for Kaauana indeed. I cried until I was short of breath When I heard that my lover had a companion; On my arrival the companion was gone, My bed was given for their desire 10. Which caused this person to dwell with love. At Apua is the lama bud, It is being covered over by this misery, The light mountain fog of Kaolina At the cliff of Hakuna in mountain fastnesses, [it] is crying, 15. Repenting and offering my body a recompense For the endearment which we have enjoyed; For the endearment which rejoiced my heart toward you and Possessed me with gentle love And made me love the person in the presence 20. Of the lover! Here is a lover, a woman who talks of evil. I see that my companion has become strange, He does not recognize me, his companion in sin, yet here I am. I am going to meet my wind companion In the days at Kualani kini, 25. [A] companion at Waikupolo. I am saddened, for evil lurks within. Loving is the water which moistens the edge of the cloud, It is welling over in tears, Weeping at the beach until out of breath; Weeping from the beach to the uplands to be quieted. The cry is a rain, it is raining from the beach to be quieted in the uplands, 5. Quieting the bud of the wild kalo; A rain which feeds the baskets of kalo blossoms, The kalo with hard roots standing in the lehua, Lehua kalo at the lehua uplands in Kona. Laukona cane is the cane growth above, 10. Here it is, born and held on high; It is the wonder of yesterday, Gladdened long ago for the attachment was great, Entangled outside of the vine. The heavens are darkened, greatly darkened by the rain, Covered with blackness is the mountain, The mountain of Leleanae. The head of Lanihuli is crown turned; Is facing the wind. 5. O ye wind, there is fragrance. What would you, haao, the rain wreathing the kamakahala Which has matured above Keki? The leaves grow, the flowers develop large, Nurtured by the rain of Nuuanu. 10. O thou cold, what is it? The shadow of the chief arose lobster like, Bathing in the water of the clouds in heaven. It has grown large and is trailing, The rain cloud is a benefactor to Kona. I feel sorry for Kona, it is hurt, it is sweltered by the sun. 5. The plain of Kailua is sore, It is struck on the side by heat as a child untied and left to himself. The rocks toward the sea lie by themselves, Nothing to disturb them, The breast of the calm is not panting, 10. The face wet and slippery with dew, The dew of the ice from the mountain, A water without body by the wind, Just simply wetting the food To give life to the food of Wainae. 15. Let there be a resting so that The pangs of love would be assuaged, And the weariness of desire That is yours,—to desire until it is placed in your quiver, When within there is a friend, a call 20. issues forth, here I am. He mau Mele Aloha. O Kalolou ia lani ka i ku mea, O ka newa ka kolili aho o Kanaloa; O ke kaahiki mauliawa o Kane, O ka naenae hoa na lae ia la, O Kanehoalani a Kauahoa, 5.
