He wahine a ke Akua Pololi:—
Pololi, ai-ole, make i ka pololi, e-e!
TRANSLATION
Maka-pu’u dwells at the Cape,
Wife to the god of Starvation—
Hunger and death from starvation.
To this Maka-pu’u answered: “We love the place, the watch-tower, from which we can see the canoes, with their jibing triangular sails, sailing back and forth between here and Moloka’i.” To this she added a little chanty:
E Maka-pu’u nui, kua ke au e!
Na mauü moe o Malei, e-e,
I ai na maua, i ai na maua, e-e!
