The boat-baffling cape, Papa-wai,

And the boisterous A-nahe-nahe.

Awake thee!

Awake, day is come and the light;

The sun-rays stab the skin of the deep;

It pursues, as did god Kumu-kahi

To companion with god Maka-noni;

The plain of Apua quivers with heat.

Awake thee!

Awake, ’tis day, ’tis light;
