Ma‘emai‘e i ka pali ka liko o ka Lama Ke oho hauli lena o ka awapuhi I luelule i ka pali o Kuanalua Elua laua me ka maino Me ke kini lawaia manu i Pokahi E Pokahi polua au i Kaukini E kuu kini aloha i Nahunapalai Ke nonoho nei no la i o Hai E pa leo laua me Makaukiu Mahea hoi au e, ma ko‘oe alo no. Lovely is the cliff adorned with the tender leaves of the lama The yellowish-green leaves of the ginger, That sway over the cliff of Kuanalua. There were two of them in the bad weather, With the many bird catchers of Pokahi, O Pokahi, I’ve spent two nights at Kaukini, With my beloved people at Kahunapalai, Still living here for Ha‘i’s sake, Who rushes to converse with Makaukiu Where shall I be? Just in your presence. BPBM Archives: HEN III, pp 705-707
