Malelewa'a Cliff, Wailau, Moloka'i


Aia la o ka wai o Waiehu . . . . . There, at the waters of Waiehu
Ke puhia ala e ka makani . . . . . Being blown about by the breeze
Pohina noe i ka uahi a ka wai . .A silvery mist from the sea spray
Pulu ihola ka au hula ana . . . . . Soaked, the impassable cape surges
E au ana i ke kai o Papio . . . . . .Jutting out to sea at Papio

--Pa'alua, 19th Century Chant for Kaleleonalani
