A tabu god was he from his birth.

To these will I go with my lord.

The heavens above are in turmoil;

The earth beneath is riven;

The Sea-powers of earth are sleeping;

The Torch of Kane has risen:

O God of the Night, inspire me!

Thy sleep needs a sacred waking.

Awake, O Kahiki-ku!

Awake, O Kahiki-moe!
