pg 18 chant

A calm sea, a moving sea is the channel of Kaiaka.

There, perhaps a floating island from Polihale, made sacred by Aiaiakuulakai.

Where are you my child of Anahulu

Anahulu of the red hau, of the red hau cordage

the cordage that binds the corners

the corners of the house of Pele, Mauliola.

My infant of the reef

the reef of Puaena,

Puaena of the slanted sea spray

sea spray that dampens the cheeks.

Where is my sacred child of Anahulu?

A kahu calls out,

to the child of the moelua barkcloth,

to the child of the makaula barkcloth

Agree to my prayer, a kahu calls out to you,

I hunger for turtle.

Ke kai mālie, O ke kai holo ke kōwā o Kaiaka

Ma laila, He ‘āina lana paha mai Polihale mai, e ho‘okapu mai e Aiaiaku‘ulakai.

Aia i hea ko‘u keiki o Anahulu

Anahulu o ka hau ‘ula‘ula, o ka hau kaula ‘ula‘ula

‘O ke kaula i pū‘ā i nā kihi

‘O Ke kihi o ka hale o Pele, Mauliola.

Ko‘u keiki o ke ko‘a

‘O ke ko‘a o Puaena

Puena o ka ehu kai hiō ( ka ehu kau kepa)

‘O ka ehu kai i ho‘oma‘ū i ka papālina

Aia i hea ko‘u keiki kapu o Anahulu?

E Kāhea ke kahuna,

I ke keiki o ke kapa makaula

I ke keiki o ke kapa makaula,

‘Ae ko‘u pule, e Kāhea ke kahuna iā‘oe

Pōloli au no ka honu
