Ua ku’i-ku’i wale a ha’ina[8] na ihu;

Ua ka i ka u me ka waimaka,

I ke kula o Lualua-lei,[9] e!

Ku’u lei aloha no olua no, e!

TRANSLATION

I stand ahigh on Poha-kea;

The dog of storm strips off his robe;

A zephyr fans yon heated plain of

Miki-kala and Puha-maló:—

Wild strife ’tween the man and the Sea breeze:
