At South Kona, the kingObserves Ka'awaloaKnows the peace of 'EhuMajestic are you, o king
Going to Hawai'iTo take care of the districtsIn plain view the mountaintopsSeen are the cloud banks
At mid-tide on the seaOn the whispering seaSpeaking of KawaihaeStirred by the sudden shower
The wind increasesThe sea risesThe sea of MâhukonaThe wind named 'Apa'apa'a
Crowded is KohalaTo the mouth with peopleTell the themeThe royal Kaulilua
