The heavens—let them rend, Hiiaka!
Plunge you in the wild tossing sea;
And you, who delight in the calm sea;
Hiiaka, thou thatcher of towns,
Hiiaka, soul of the flame-bud;
Hiiaka, emblemed in ti-bud;
Hiiaka, who dwells on the headland;
Hiiaka, who parts heaven’s curtains;
Hiiaka—of Pele’s own heart!
These tears well from eyes hot with weeping,
