Fine is the breeze from the mountains.

I wait for you to return,

The games are prepared,

Pa-poko, pa-loa, pa-lele,

Leap away to Tahiti

By the path to Nuumealani (home of the gods,)

Will that lover (Ouha) return?

I belong to Hono-kau-pu,

From the top of the tossing surf waves.

The eyes of the day and the night are forgotten.
