Elieli kau mai.
Prayer to Pua Koheili above here, Reaching to heaven is the reverence to Koheili. Grant me pardon. Awake thou, O heaven! O thunder and lightning! 5. The severe rain, the pelting rain, the fine rain, The clouds, the winds; messengers of flying gods in the heavens, Come you in pairs, With prostration beneath and myself on top. Koheili turns aside in the wilderness 10. To gather the ti-leaves, For uniting, sleeping, kissing; For food at the temple where I will meet the husband. Love passes on by your climb with the burden. Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast; 15. Let the rain fall, the heavy rain; Let there be wailing, Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua— Return, grant this prayer. Koheili, O Koheili! 20. Koheili of the mountain here, The reverence of Koheili reaches to the mountain, Calling me to arise. Awake thou O mountain! O valley! Thou ornament, thou serene sky, 25. Come you in pairs, Prostration is below, I am above. Koheili turns aside in the wilderness, To gather the ti-leaves, For embracing, sleeping, kissing, as food at the temple, 30. To be worn by all, worn for trespass; Love passes on by your ascent with the burden, Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast. Let the rain fall, the heavy rain; Let there be wailing, 35. Thou art being taken by your lover, O Pua— Return, grant this prayer. Koheili! O Koheili of this earth, The sacredness of Koheili pervades the earth, Calling me to arise. 40. Awake thou O earth, O sand, O dry leaves, O coconut grove, O taro patch, O moth, O reef, O island, O tide, O land, Come in pairs. Prostration is beneath, I am above, 45. Koheili turns aside in the wilderness To gather the ti-leaves, To embrace, to sleep, to kiss, as food at the temple, So that when I am met by a man I can give all, give without wrong, 50. Love passes on by your ascent with the burden, Thou to hold the heart, I to hold the breast. Let the rain fall, the heavy rain, Let there be wailing. Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua— 55. Return, grant this prayer. Koheili, O Koheili! O Koheili of guidance here, The reverence of Koheili reaches to the sea Calling me to arise. 60. Awake thou O body surf, O facing surf, O heavy surf, O sudden sea. O the cherished, O the forbidden, Come thou in pairs, With reverence beneath [and] I above. 65. Koheili turns aside in the wilderness To gather the ti-leaves, For embracing, sleeping, kissing, as food at the temple So that when I am met by a man I can give all without wrong, 70. Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast. Let the heavy rain fall, Let there be wailing. Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua! Return, grant this, a prayer. 75.
