There in Honolulu is my stone For Kakuhihewa is my lord You probably may be discovered Among the petals of Camellia blossoms Bedecked is Halemano with lehua leaves With flowers grown at Kukaniloko Do come in with Li`a wahine To string ohelo berries well-liked by the birds I was up yonder with lehua leis And small leaf maile of Ka`ala Fragrant indeed, the small leaf maile The small leaf maile of Ko`iahi There is a heat of desire that rises within To hear the appealing notes of Kuwili`s flute I call to you, o answer me O Kakuhihewa, my chief Call: The name of Kakuhihewa |
