I'oniamlcr Collection of Hawaiian folk-lore. 



The twisting hurt across the nian"s back, 

 Here you are. 



Nuuanu is turned to the wind ; 



The hands have seized the kiowao rain 

 15. Contending with Leleaanae. 



Waipuhia was well pleased, 



The haao rain resounded with laughter ; 



[The] kukui consorted with the ahihi ; 



With the kamakahala wreath of Malailua. 

 20. I am exceedingly ashamed of you 



By your going around taking my name 



When I flew by as a runner. 



Here \ou are. 



Eha ka hilo ka pea kna o ke kanaka, 

 Eia 'la — oe. 



O Nuuanu ua huli i ka makni ; 

 Ua lalau na lima o ka ua kiowao. 

 15. E aumeume ana me Leleaanae 

 Ua komo ka lealea ia Waipuhia, 

 Ke kani nei ka aka a ka ua haao ; 

 Kukui haele me ka ahihi ; 

 Me ke kamakahala lei o Malailua. 

 20. He lua ole kuu hilahila ia oe 



I ko lawe hele i ko'u inoa 



Pulelo ana 'u me he wahi kukini 'la, 



Eia la — oe. 



Love Chants. 



He mau Mele Aloha. 



Kalolou is another chief who stands 



visible, 

 A cudgel is the quivering fish-line of 



Kanaloa ; 

 A gasping for breath of Kane. 

 The contending forehead that day ; 

 5. Kanehoalani of Kauahoa, 



My companion which accompanied 



Kihi of Kauahoa was he. 

 Not an assistant : you are the one who 



seeks knowledge. 

 With you as companion the tears 



would flow. 

 Shortened is the sleep for spiritual 



lX)Ssession. 

 10. He is indeed sleeping, 



Careless and to no purpose, 

 Just listening here and there 

 And retaining much that is worthless. 

 Love is what he should keep, 

 13. T<j rejoice should he touch flesh; 



.\ dazzling leaf, a concealed veil of his ; 

 A skin which strikingly resembled Mane's. 

 It is Mano of the sacred awa-root, 

 The sacred hill, to be appeased when the 



kapu is properly observed. 

 20. Where is the station that will 



give him peace ? 

 The lx)som only is satisfied by union, 



O Kalolou ia lani ka i ku mea, 

 O ka newa ka kolili alio o Kanaloa ; 

 O ke kaahiki mauliawa o Kane, 

 O ka naenae hoa na lae ia la, 



5. O Kanehoalani a Kauahoa, 



Kuu hoa i hoohoa'i o Kihi kapua a 



Kauahoa ia, 

 Aohe hoa : o ka hoa imi akamai oe. 

 O oe no ka hoa e hua ka ue, 

 Nainai hoi ka moe hoomanamana. 



10. He moe la ka i ana, 



Ka lau a hikaua, 



E hoolono ae ana i o ia nei. 



Nui wale hoi ka mea e malama'i. 



Ka ukana e malama'i o ke aloha, 

 15. E hoolea i na he pa kino lau ; 



He lau kolii he paku ia ia ; 



He ili aai i kohu no Mano. 



O Mano ia o ka puawa kapu, 



Ka pue kapu he kena ka ke kapu wale 

 i pono. 

 20. Auhea ka palm e malumaluhia'i oia ? 



Ua ono wale ke alo i ka pili na mai.
