Kahea: He inoa no Hi`iaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele
Puna dances in the breeze
The hala groves of Kea`au join the dance
Hä`ena and Höpoe are swaying
The woman
Sways down by the sea of Nanahuki
A dance of joy
Down by the sea of Nanahuki
A dance of joy
Down by the sea of Nanahuki
 
 
 
 
The sea at Puna echoes through the hala
The voice of the sea swells
Spreading the lehua blossoms
Behold the revelry of Höpoe
The woman who sways by the sea
Of Nanahuki
A dance of joy
By the sea of Nanahuki
A dance of joy
By the sea of Nanahuki
A dance of joy
By the sea of Nanahuki
 
 
Call: In the name of Hi`iaka in the bosom of Pele
