Mai na aina pali a pau loa,

Mai Hoolulu no a Poli-hale la;

Ku’u kane ho’i, e-e!

TRANSLATION

At last, my dear man, at last,

On this rugged cliff of Haena!

I have searched the whole mountain side,

From Ho’o-lulu’s booming fall

To Poli-hale’s buttressed flank.

I have found thee at last, my man!
