A rain which feeds the baskets of kalo 



blossoms, 

 Tlie kalo with hard roots standing 



in the lehua, 

 Lehua kalo at the lehua uplands in Kona. 

 Laukona cane is the cane growth above, 

 Here it is, born and held on high ; 

 It is the wonder of yesterday, 

 (iladdened long ago for the attachment 



was great. 

 Entangled outside of the vine. 



The heavens are darkened, greatly 



darkened by the rain. 

 Covered with blackness is the mountain. 

 The mountain of Leleanae. 

 The head of Lanihuli is crt)wn turned ; 

 is facing the wind. 

 O ye wind, there is fragrance. 

 What would you, haao, the rain 



wreathing the kamakahala 

 Which has matured above Keki ? 

 The leaves grow, the flowers develop large, 

 Nurtured by the rain of Nuuanu. 

 O thou cold, what is it? 



The shadow of the chief arose lobster like. 

 Bathing in the water of the clouds in 

 heaven. 

 . It has grown large and is trailing. 

 The rain cloud is a benefactor to Kona. 

 3. I feel sorry for Kona, it is hurt, 

 it is sweltered by the sun. 

 The plain of Kailua is sore. 

 It is struck on the side by heat as 



a child untied and left to himself. 

 The rocks toward the sea lie by themselves. 

 Nothing to disturb them, 

 10. The breast of the calm is not panting. 

 The face wet and slippery with dew, 

 The dew of the ice from the mountain, 

 .V water without body by the wind, 

 Just simply wetting the food 

 15. i'o give life to the food of Wainae. 

 Let there be a resting so that 

 The pangs of love would be assuaged. 

 And the weariness of desire 

 That is yours, — to desire until it is 

 placed in your quiver, 

 20. When within there is a friend, a call 

 issues forth, here I am.

Ka ua hanai kihene apu pua kalo, 

 Na kalo uia a liao kuniaka lehua, 

 Kalo leluia mauka o lehua a Kona. 



Ko laukona maka ulu o na ko i luna, 



Eia la a hanau ka luna ; 



Ka hao i nehinei, 



Ua olioli i kahi ko iki ole la ka pili, 



I liliia iwaho o ka hue.

O kupu havvawae ke aka o ke "Hi, 

 Me auau i ka wai maka opua i ka lani. 

 Ke koiawe ae la he makua.

 Ua pa aoao i ka wela me he keiki mai

 Hemo haalele ke a o ke kai, 

 Waiho malie wale iho no, 

 Naenae ole ke alo o ka lai, 

 Alokele pahee i ke kehau, 

 Kehau wai hau no ka mauna, 

 He wai kino ole na ka makani 

 Ke hoomau wale no i ka ai,

 Auhea no la i na lea iho e
