[Translation.]

Song

The rustle and hum of spinning top,

Wild laughter and babel of sound—

Hear the roar of the waves at Pu’u-hina!

Bursts of derision echoed from cliffs,

The cliffs of Ka-iwi-ku’i;

And the day is stirred by a breeze.

The house swarms with women and men.

List! the drum-beat of Lohiau,
