Reaches Kauai, Oahu, Maui,

Hawaii the eld of Keawe,

Whose tabu, burning with blood-red blaze,

Shoots flame-tongues that leap with the wind,

The breeze from the mountain, the Naulu.

Waihoa humps its back, while cold Mikioi

Blows fierce and swift across Hala-li’i.

It vaunts like a king at Kekaha,

Flaunting itself in the sun’s heat,

And lifts itself up in mirage,
