A Kona Hema 'O Ka Lani (Traditional)
At South Kona, the king Observes Ka`awaloa Knows the peace of `Ehu Majestic are you, o king
Going to Hawai`i 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 Mahukona The wind named `Apa`apa`a
Crowded is Kohala To the mouth with people Tell the theme The royal Kalakaua
