God of the deep-rooted a’a-lii.
O Laka from the mountains,
O Laka from the ocean!
Let Lono bless the service,
Shutting the mouth of the dog,
That breaks the charm with his barking.
Bring the i-e that grows in the wilds,
The maile that twines in the thicket,
Red-beaked kiele, leaf of the goddess,
The joyous pulse of the dance
