Iki’ki i ka uwahi lehua;
Paku’i ka uwahi Kanáka.
Pua’i hanu, eä ole i ke po’i a ke ahi.
E Hiiaka e, i wai maka e uwé mai!
TRANSLATION
The stars are on fire, and the moon;
Cold winter is turned to hot summer;
The island is girdled with storm;
The land is scoured and swept barren;
The heavens sag low—high surf in the Pit—
