TRANSLATION

Alas, my woman, alas!

You wail in soul-recognition.

I was yonder at Ka-lalau,

Or some time perched at Ho’o-lulu.

Surely thou art the woman, thou!

With the desire to soothe the bewildered soul Hiiaka again spoke:

Ku’u kane i ka makani Kilihau,[2] Kili-opu,[3]

Ke pu’e[4] ka wai o ka mauna;

He mauna pali no Ka-lalau
