Kama-hua-lele, standing by the mast which bore the royal colours, sang the chant of Moi-keha. The closing part of the chant is thus translated by Fornander:

“O, Moikeha, the chief who is to reside.

My chief will reside on Hawaii.

Life, life, O buoyant life!

Live shall the chief and the priest.

Live shall the seer and the slave,

Dwell on Hawaii and be at rest,

And attain to old age on Kauai.

O Kauai is the island

O Moikeha is the chief.”
