With her sister Na-maka-o-ka-ha’i;
Of her flight to the land of Hawaii,
A flight like the eye-shot of dawn,
A flight like the lightning’s flash,
That rivals the full of the moon!
Wonder and awe possess me!
For Pele the ocean sleeps afar,
For Pele the godlike one!
A surge now cradles the islands
And breaks on the land Hana-kahi,
