O Kalakū ka lani, ka Makua Pronounced is the
heavens, the parents
He wahi lua i kahi o ke Akua A deep place in the realm of God
He kala ke kapa ke kau a'ela i ka lele Forgiveness is the cloth placed
on the altar
He kala ka hapa, he mai'a kapu a ke Akua Forgiveness is the mixed blood, the
sacred banana
E ili lā, e ola lā Be blessed, Live
‘Oia iā ‘oe, e Kāneikawaiola It is you, Kane of
the lifegiving waters
‘Āmama. Ua noa. The prayer is
said, the taboo is lifted
I think this is a prayer to ask Kane to give life to the dead Lohiau. Hi'iaka is saying the prayer and asking her 'aikane Wahine'oma'o how it was.
