A Kona Hema ʻO Ka Lani (The King At South Kona) - Traditional

lyrics

A Kona Hema ʻo ka lani
Nānā iā Kaʻawaloa
ʻIke i ka laʻi a ʻEhu
Ehuehu ʻoe e ka lani

Ka helena aʻo Hawaiʻi
Mālamalama nā moku
Ahuwale nā kualono
ʻIke ʻia ka pae ʻōpua

E kukū ana i ke kai
I ke kai hāwanawana
ʻŌlelo ʻo Kawaihae
Hae ana e ka nāulu

Ka makani hele uluulu
Kū ka eʻa i ka moana
Ka moana o Māhukona
Ka makani ʻĀpaʻapaʻa

Lēʻī mai ʻo Kohala
I ka nuku nā kānaka
Haʻina mai ka puana
ʻO ka lani Kaulīlua

At South Kona, the king
Observes Kaʻawaloa
Knows the peace of ʻEhu
Majestic are you, o king

Going to Hawaiʻi
To take care of the districts
In plain view the mountaintops
Seen are the cloud banks

At mid-tide on the sea
On the whispering sea
Speaking of Kawaihae
Stirred by the sudden shower

The wind increases
The sea rises
The sea of Māhukona
The wind named ʻĀpaʻapaʻa

Crowded is Kohala
To the mouth with people
Tell the theme
The royal Kaulīlua
