[Translation] 



Outburst 



O my love goes out to thee. 

 For thy goodness and thy kindness. 

 Fancy kindles at that other, 

 Stirs, with her arts, my hlood. 



Chorus: 

 You and I, then, for an outburst ! 

 Sing the joy of love's encounter, 

 Join arms against the invading damp, 

 Deep chill of embowering ferns. 



The following is given, not for its poetical value and significance, 

 but rather as an example of a song which the trained Hawaiian singer 

 delights to roll out with an unctuous gusto that bids defiance to all 

 description :
