With its being touched by man 



And in the confusion takes on the 

 color of his skin. 



Ruddy is the war crier on the day of battle, 



The skin is [hke] that of Kama: 



A countenance of a most sacred child- 

 chief, a wonderful chief. 



Hard indeed is its sacredness when 

 it is used, 



Deprived of the seizure of the night, 

 is destitute : 



Thou art gone, the true sun. 



When the excitement arrived I fell 

 with thee. 



We fought and came near rebelling. 



We came near fighting on your account, 



But you are not behind me, 



Yet I am unduly excited for your love. 



A lover is the large headed cloud 



on the plain of Kema, 

 It is hanging above Kamahualele, 

 Simply appearing hitherward 

 Is the spirit of my lover. 

 I thought it was your voice making reply ; 

 It came to me wet and weak with flowers 



in its hand. 

 Return, look after me, lest you regret 

 And say it is for him to look after his own. 

 How I love the call of the young geese, 



It cried on account of the cold as it 



crept along : 

 It is thoroughly wet with the cold 



of the dew. 

 It is simply waving from below the sea, 

 And increasing is the kookoolauwahine 



( wind ) , 

 Aly companion in the calm of Puna, 

 Of the plain of Kahunanahai : 

 A lover in the house — the long house, 

 From the pili flower-treading rain of 



waahila. 

 Makahuna is ashamed, 

 I hid it so as to be secure, 

 But my tears revealed it and 



it became known. 

 We are known, my love. 

 The love was known without any voice. 

 Yet I longed for your coming; 

 On your coming a house is here. 



I ka pa kanaka ana mai. 



I'ioloku ai kohu ai ka ili. 



Ehu o ka la kaua no ka la kauehu,

He ipo ke ao poo nui i ka laula o Kema, 

 Ke kau mai la maluna o Kamahualele. 

 Ke lele wale mai no ia nei 

 Ke kahoaka u kmi aloha.

A hiki mai oe he hale ko onei.
