A portent was seen in the heavens.

You were kept in a cradle of gourd,

Water-gourd of the witch Kilioe,

Who haunted the cliffs of Haena—

The fiery blasts of the crater

Touch not Kamoho-alii’s cliff.

Your travel reaches Waipi’o,

The sacred cliff of god Kane.

Sleep fled the bed of the king

At the din of the conch Kiha-pú.
