Call to the person to enter
And eat till the mouth is content
And this the reward, the voice
Simply the voice

There in the forest in upland above Kānehekili
Moistened by Laka’s (Lono) gentle rain
Standing between the ridge of Kānemalohēmō
(The log was) loosened into the embrace of Kanaloa
Floating on the sea of Koholā pehu
Rising wind from the south shall blow
Blow out, blow in, Pāhili Kiu makani
To be encourage, to be encouraged
To be encourage, to be encouraged
To encourage, Pāhili Kiu makani

dig in your paddle
and pull it back
to Kanaloa we call
we call to the very deep ocean
let your waves be calm
to Kanaloa we call
to the strong winds we call
let your gails be still
guard, lead, enlighten, strengthen,
when the waʻa reach land
we will be victorious
